The Lagos State Police Command has announced a revised timeframe for movement restrictions ahead of the Local Government elections scheduled for Saturday, July 12, 2025.
In a statement released on Thursday, the Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, said vehicular and waterways movement will now be restricted from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., as opposed to the previously announced 3:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
According to Hundeyin, the adjustment was made to ease the burden on residents with urgent travel and medical 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,” he stated.

Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, assured Lagosians of a peaceful and well-secured voting process, reiterating the command’s commitment to a free and fair election.
“We are committed to a secure, peaceful and credible election. Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity through our emergency lines,” Jimoh said.
The elections will be conducted across the 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas of the state, with security personnel strategically deployed to ensure order.
