The Lagos State Police Command has announced an adjustment to the hours of movement restriction for the upcoming Local Government Elections scheduled for Saturday, July 12, 2025.
The state police, through its spokesperson CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, in a statement on Wednesday, said the Command’s restriction of vehicular and waterways movement will now begin at 6:00 a.m. and end at 3:00 p.m., rather than the previously announced 3:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. window.
The adjustment, according to the police, is to alleviate the problem of residents with critical medical emergencies and appointments and those with long-time international travel plans in and out of the country.
“To alleviate the problem of residents with critical medical emergencies and appointments, and those with longtime international travel plans in and out of the country, the restriction of vehicular movement is hereby readjusted to commence at 6:00 AM and end at 3:00 PM on Saturday, July 12, 2025 and not from 3am as earlier announced. Members of the Public are enjoined to cooperate and respect the new timing,” the statement read.
The election will take place across all 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in Lagos State.
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, reiterates the commitment of the Command to ensuring a secure, safe, and orderly electoral process.
The Command urges all Lagosians to cooperate with security agencies, remain vigilant, and report suspicious activities via the emergency lines: 08063299264 or 08065154338.
