Arik Air cancels Oct. 21 flights

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, Oct.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.

Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of  Lagos State had  on Oct. 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 spareheaded  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
