The management of Arik Air has announced the cancellation of all its flight operations for Wednesday, Oct. 21 due to the 24-hour curfew imposed on the residents of Lagos State by the state government with effect from 4 p.m. on Tuesday, October 20, 2020.
Mr Adebanji Ola, the Communications Manager of Arik Air, said in a statement in Lagos on Tuesday all booked passengers on the cancelled flights are advised to reschedule their flights for later dates at no extra cost.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State had on October 20 announced a 24-hour curfew effective from 4:00p.m. on Tuesday.
This was due to reports that some hoodlums had allegedly hijacked the peaceful protests being spare-headed by #EndSARs protesters against the violations of human rights of innocent Nigerians in parts of the state.
It was also reported that some of the hoodlums had burnt a police station and other public buildings in parts of the state.
