Oyo State Govt Declares 7pm To 7am Curfew With Immediate Effect by mukina2: 4:43pm On Jan 10, 2012
The Oyo State government has declared a 12-hour curfew in the state with immediate effect.
The curfew would take effect from 7pm to 7am.
A statement signed by the Special Adviser on Media to the Governor, Festus Adedayo, said the curfew became necessary in order to protect the
security and lives of the people of the state.
The government noted that some hoodlums and miscreants, under the sponsorship of some politicians, had been hiding under the present
anti-fuel subsidy removal protest to threaten the security of the state, especially at night.
The government explained that it had to declare the curfew to protect lives and property in the state.According to the statement, government had instructed security agencies in the state to apprehend and prosecute anyone who
contravened the curfew.
“While the government appreciates the rights of the citizens to protest, the protection of lives and property of citizens is
imperative,” the statement said.

curfew is now the order of the day; why do they not allow Jonathan to declare a state of emergency.

Why do you want to take the fundamental rights of people from them when they have freedom of association and peaceful assembly ? Civil disobedience is allowed in democracy,so ibadan folks should ignore the threat of the governor.We all have rights aand our rights must be respected because we are in a democrazie.Aluta continua,victory ascerta.

The imposition of the curfew shows how ill-equipped Nigerian State Govt's are in dealing with people who do not obey the law. Rather than dispatch police officers to arrest these alleged miscreants, they impose a curfew on everyone, thereby inhibiting the rights of people to drive at night. With the Nigeria I know, this curfew will give the miscreants more room to commit their malicious activities.

We are getting to know the faces of pro subsidy removal govrnors.
This is ploy by Ajimobi to set the NURTW against the NLC and TUC so that they will backout of the struggle. You know these drivers being daily income eraners use the period of 6pm to 11pm and 5am to 8am to work so that they will earn something for the day in order for the strike not to hit them much. Now that with the curfew, they can work in those hours, then they will backout of the protest. Ajimobi is working for Jonathan.

Kudos to Ajimobi for protecting the lives and properties his people. However, this will afford opportunity to some children to recognise their father as a result early leaving and late returning.

I thought of it yesterday that it will be necessary to implement tight security at the night time because of many hoodlums, even armed robbers will like to take the opportunity of occupy Nigeria protest to execute their evil duties. Nice move though undecided
