BROADCAST BY THE GOVERNOR, THE STATE OF OSUN, MR. ADEGBOYEGA OYETOLA ON THE DECLARATIONS OF 24-HOUR CURFEW ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2020
My dear Good People of the State of Osun,
It is with a high sense of responsibility that I address you this afternoon in respect of the unfortunate situation in our Dear State.Government notes with huge disappointment, the abuse of the suspension, a day ago, of the 24-hour curfew earlier declared in the State to forestall the breakdown of law and order and protect the lives and property of citizens and residents.
It is unfortunate that hoodlums and criminals have taken advantage of government’s action to wantonly loot government and private property, including private business premises and homes in several parts of the State this morning. This is unacceptable and it stands condemned.
After an Emergency Security Meeting this afternoon, where the whole situation was reviewed and assessed, we came to the inevitable conclusion to declare a curfew. Consequently, I hereby declare a 24-hour curfew across the whole State with immediate effect.
This inevitable conclusion was reached to avert the continuation of this irresponsible act, especially now that the genuine protesters have suspended their protest earlier today.
My fellow citizens, the declaration of a 24-hour curfew, which will be indefinite until further notice, is to prevent the current state of anarchy from degenerating into large-scale breakdown of law and order.
For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no vehicular (including Okada) or human movement during this period. Only those on essential duties will be permitted to move around. These persons too must carry with them proper identification to allow access.
Violators of the curfew rules shall be prosecuted in line with the extant laws of the State.
I enjoin all our citizens and residents to return home and remain in their homes until further notice.
I assure them of their safety during this period, as always, as security operatives have been deployed in all the parts of the State to restore and maintain law and order within the precinct of the law
Being unique is a life long process. It’s difficult to be fresh and new all the time but it’s the only way to be.
Don’t let something that’s long gone continue to control you. It’s time to let go.
Don’t rush anything. When the time is right, it’ll happen.
Easy is instant gratification. Hard is a lifetime of satisfaction.
Good of you because your first responsibility is to protect the lives and property of the citizens once you are able to do so, that is good.
If this step is not taking things may be worse. Most of the protest have been hijacked by criminals who had the intention of stolen another person’s property but thank God for taking right decision.
The criminals always hidden under under one thing or the other in order to carry out their evil plans, if you look at what happened people will realize that those who carried out these atrocities are not geniue protesters but they are criminals. It’s good to fore store peace and order.
That is good to ease the tension I’m the state
For the better of the state,i believe that’s a good decision.
Nice one,for peace to rain
Tho it will cancel businesses plan,tgat may make people miss money.
Kudos to governor Gboyega oyetola of osun state, the curfews until further notice is good, so that they can verify everything.👍👍👍👍

Good Of You Because Your First Responsibility Is To Protect The Lives And Property Of The Citizens Once You Are Able To Do So, That Is Good.
That’s a very good move.
