Approved by Governor Seyi Makinde, the restriction runs daily from 4:00pm to 8:00am and will remain in force for an initial period of 48 hours, after which the situation will be reviewed and further directives issued.
The directive, contained in a memo signed by Secretary to the State Government Professor Musibau Babatunde, covers the local government areas of Oriire, Orelope, Irepo, Saki West, Saki East, Atisbo, Itesiwaju, Iseyin, Olorunsogo and Atiba.
