The curfew, will take effect from 10pm, Tuesday, October 20, would have both human and vehicular movements restricted across the state.
Governor Fayemi, in a statement signed by the Secretary to the state Government Mr Biodun Oyebanji, said the decision was taken after careful consideration of the atrocities perpetrated by protesters suspected to be hoodlums.
