The Lagos State Police Command has modified the timing for vehicular and waterways movement restrictions during the upcoming July 12, 2025 Local Government elections.
In a Thursday statement, Police Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin announced the revised restriction period will now be from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, instead of the previously announced 3:00 am to 3:00 pm.
The adjustment was made to accommodate residents with urgent needs. “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,” Hundeyin stated. He added: “Members of the Public are enjoined to cooperate and respect the new timing.”
Commissioner of Police Olohundare Jimoh reiterated the command’s dedication to ensuring a secure and orderly electoral process. Residents were encouraged to remain alert and report any suspicious activities through the provided emergency numbers: 08063299264 or 08065154338.
The elections will be conducted across all 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas in Lagos State. The police emphasized the importance of public cooperation during this period to facilitate smooth elections.
