In a statement on Thursday, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said movement will now be restricted from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, instead of the previously announced 3:00 am to 3:00 pm.
He said the adjustment was made to accommodate residents with critical medical emergencies and those with international travel plans.
“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,” Hundeyin said.
The Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, reaffirmed the command’s commitment to a secure and orderly electoral process.
Residents were urged to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to 08063299264 or 08065154338.
Elections will be held across the 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas of Lagos State.
