Lagos state government say defaulters of nationwide curfew could pay as much as N500,000 fine - Crossover services

 

The Lagos state government has warned that residents of the state who attend Crossover services on December 31 and in the process violate the 12am to 4am curfew will be charged to court and made to pay a fine ranging from N20,000 to N500,000.

 

The Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, stated this in an interview with Punch on  Wednesday, December 30.

 

“If you flout any of these rules, you can be fined. You will be taken to court and the magistrate will decide on the sanction. The fine can be between N20,000 and N500,000. It depends on the magistrate’s discretion.

But it is not just about punishing people. People are being advised to take responsibility. The regulations were rolled out as an advisory and people have been obeying while people who have disobeyed have faced the consequences.”he said

The commissioner, however, expressed optimism that religious leaders in the state would comply with the directive of the government on the crossover services.

 

 “With what we have been seeing, I don’t think churches will flout the protocols. CAN (Christian Association of Nigeria) is in agreement with the government. Covid cases are going up and everybody is worried. Some of the giant churches have also announced that they won’t be holding physical crossover services.

The Lagos State government has also told them that there is a curfew by midnight to 4am imposed by the Federal Government. Many of the churches have been adjusting their programs. Churches are well-organized and we believe they will comply.”he said

Nevertheless, the Director-General of the Lagos State Safety Commission, Lanre Mojola, said the commission would be working with men of the Lagos State Police Command to enforce all restrictions announced by the government, especially during the New Year period.

The Reasons why cambodian hair is the best bone straight hair

Best Bone Straight -Cambodian

 Are you looking for the best bone straight hair on the market? I mean hair that is straight just the way you want it to be. Then we advise you to go get Cambodian Hair.

Cambodian hair is hair collected from Cambodian donors. This hair type comes in three main textures, namely straight, wavy, and curly. Which is ethically collected from human donors.

 

Cambodian straight hair is the best bone straight hair you can get, plus it comes as raw hair, which means it is 100% unprocessed hair. This hair type is the best you can get on the market.

 

Moreso, raw Cambodian straight hair extensions feel like your natural hair because it is raw hair, they are easier to blend with your actual hair since it is slightly coarse in texture and the most coarse of all hair types.

Below are features of Cambodian extension that makes it the best Bone Straight hair

Texture

While another straight hair type like Vietnamese hair is well-known for its softness, Cambodian hair is special for its straightness and smoothness. It is a popular option for many women because its texture blends well with almost all hair types. Also, it doesn’t tangle and that’s less time you have to spend brushing or combing. Equally, it withstands more heat than most straight hair types. 

Natural Colour

Raw Cambodian Straight hair has a genuine natural colour in particular unlike other straight hair types. Most donor’s hair comes in milder shades of black and not deep jet black. Vendors call this natural colour – Colour 1b or off black. A softer shade of black, however, is called colour 2.

 Colouring and Bleaching

This hair type is the best when it comes to colouring and bleaching. it takes to bleaching and/or colouring very well but, however, we strongly advised that it should be done by a professional, using good quality colouring materials.

Moreover, this straight hair is from another human being so it feels just like yours and if treated with a good amount of care it will increase its longevity. However, since this hair has been cut from its donor, it is already missing the vital nutrients it would normally have if it were still attached to them, therefore additional care will be needed.

Hair Smell

All raw hair is supposed to have a clean natural smell when you receive it since it’s from another human being just like you. It doesn’t have the machine-made synthetic smell that most other hair types on the market smell like.

Healthy Cuticles

Raw Cambodian straight hair is collected from a hair donor and it has never been processed or chemically treated. Its cuticles are usually intact and naturally aligned in the same direction which reduces the risk of matting and tangling.

Less Grey Hair

Most Cambodian women give their hair special treatments that can keep hair strong and healthy. These treatments come with no chemical products. Equally, they live on a good diet that is good for their hair. In particular, Cambodian women adorn their hair with natural shampoos and conditioners such as coconut and palm oil.

Resumption #EndSARS protests in Nigeria

 Protests against a controversial police unit have seen tens of thousands take to the streets over the past two weeks.

Tens of thousands in Nigeria have been demonstrating for two weeks now against the now-disbanded police unit, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), that rights groups had for years accused of extortion, harassment, torture and murders.

Citizens in the West African nation have also started a social media campaign using the hashtag #EndSARS to register their anger, which now extends beyond SARS to include deep-rooted social grievances.

On Wednesday, unrest spread in Lagos, a day after witnesses and rights groups said army soldiers opened fire on a crowd of peaceful protesters defying a curfew during demonstrations against police brutality in Nigeria’s largest city.

According to Amnesty International, Nigerian police and army killed at least 12 peaceful protesters on October 20.

Here is a timeline of how the events have unfolded:

October 3

Protests are sparked by a viral video allegedly showing SARS officers killing a young man in the southern Delta state.

Authorities claim the video was fake and arrested the man who made it, provoking even more anger.

Nigerians take to social media as the hashtag #EndSARS tops the global trends on Twitter, supported by world-famous Afrobeat pop stars such as Davido and Wizkid.

October 8

Demonstrations across Nigeria start in major cities protesting against the death of the young man killed on October 3.

Hundreds of youths gather in central Lagos, holding banners reading “respect for human rights” and “a more equal society”.

In the capital, Abuja, dozens of protesters demonstrate with police forces using tear gas to disperse protesters, as per witness accounts.

October 11

Nigeria’s police chief announces the dissolution of SARS after days of widespread demonstrations against police brutalities.

Muhammed Adamu, inspector general of police, says the unit will be abolished “with immediate effect”, a decision made “in response to the yearnings of the Nigerian people”.

All SARS officers, he says, will be redeployed to other police commands, formations and units.

Nevertheless, demonstrators pledge to keep up their campaign seeking justice for victims of police brutality and an overhaul of the security apparatus.

October 15

As protests intensify, the Nigerian army releases a statement warning “all subversive elements and troublemakers” and says it “remains highly committed to defend the country and her democracy at all cost”.

The Nigerian army adds it “is ready to fully support the civil authority in whatever capacity to maintain law and order and deal with any situation decisively”.

October 20

On Tuesday, Nigeria’s security forces are accused of shooting dead demonstrators according to several witnesses, as authorities imposed a curfew while promising an investigation.

Amnesty International says it has received “credible but disturbing evidence of excessive use of force occasioning deaths of protesters at Lekki toll gate in Lagos”, adding that it was investigating the killings.

At least 12 people were killed, the group claims, adding the death toll was likely to be higher.

The Human Rights Watch also confirmed security forces shooting at protesters calling it a “shooting spree”.

October 21

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari assures justice for victims of brutality, and that the police reforms demanded by the demonstrators were gathering pace.

The United Nations condemns the use of “excessive and disproportionate” force by Nigerian security forces against peaceful protesters.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet urges “Nigerian authorities to take urgent steps to deal decisively with the underlying problem of persistent violations committed by the security forces”.

Meanwhile, Governor Babjide Sanwo-Olu, in an interview with local media reveals the chief of defence staff and chief of army staff called on Wednesday that if required the military, “they will deploy them”.

The African Union Commission chairman strongly condemns deadly violence in Nigeria’s biggest city Lagos and calls on all parties to “privilege dialogue”.

Moussa Faki Mahamat “strongly condemns the violence that erupted on 20 October 2020 during protests in Lagos, Nigeria that has resulted in multiple deaths and injuries”, his office says in a statement.
