“To accommodate medical emergencies and international travel, movement restrictions on July 12 will now start at 6:00 a.m., not 3:00 a.m.,” police said.
The Lagos State Police Command has revised the movement restriction hours for the upcoming Local Government elections on Saturday, July 12, 2025.
Initially set from 3:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the restriction will now run from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., according to police spokesperson CSP Benjamin Hundeyin.
The adjustment is intended to ease the burden on residents with urgent medical needs and those with pre-arranged international travel plans.
The election will be conducted across all 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the state.
