DELTA State Government has announced further relaxation of the curfew imposed as a result of the #ENDSARS protests.
Governor Ifeanyi Okowa had imposed a 48-hour curfew on the state on Thursday October 22 following wanton destruction of public buildings in parts of the state during the #ENDSARS protests.
The curfew was relaxed on Saturday, October 24 from 6pm to 8am daily and on Saturday, 31 October, 2020, the State Commissioner for Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu in a statement, said the curfew will now be from 8:00 pm to 6:00 am with effect from Saturday October 31.
According to Aniagwu, the State Government expressed appreciation to Deltans for observing the curfew, which was imposed to check destruction of lives and property by suspected hoodlums who hijacked the peaceful protest against the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.

“As a government we are not unmindful of the stress our people are going through on account of the curfew, but it was inevitable in order to protect the life and property of Deltans.
“I must thank Deltans for protecting the interest of our common patrimony by ensuring that no further destruction of public buildings was witnessed in the state.
“As part of our avowed commitment to build a stronger Delta with our youths, let me also express the determination of the State Government to give effect to the decisions reached in the Town Hall meetings with youths in the state,” Aniagwu said.
