This is as the 4 weeks of the extension of the 2nd phase of the eased lockdown lapses 12 midnight on Monday.
Nigeria imposed its first round of lockdown in Late March and on the 27th of April, President Buhari announced the gradual easing of a five-week-lockdown in the Federal Capital Territory (FTC), Lagos and Ogun State.
The lockdown was ease to a nationwide curfew from 8pm to 6am from May 4 to May 17.
The curfew was later reviewed by many state governments to start from 10pm.
