The restriction, which was approved by Governor Seyi Makinde, is in effect every day from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. for the first 48 hours. Following that, the situation will be evaluated and additional instructions will be given.
Oriire, Orelope, Irepo, Saki West, Saki East, Atisbo, Itesiwaju, Iseyin, Olorunsogo, and Atiba are the local government districts covered by the directive, which was signed by Secretary to the State Government Professor Musibau Babatunde.
Residents in the impacted regions have been asked to cooperate with security personnel stationed to enforce the curfew and to fully abide by it.
