The curfew introduced in Lagos state, Nigeria, on Tuesday will be lifted on Saturday between the hours 08:00 and 18:00 local time (07:00 and 19:00 GMT).
The curfew was introduced after almost two weeks of nationwide protests against police brutality.
The protests began on 7 October with mostly young people demanding the scrapping of a notorious police unit, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (Sars).
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari says at least 69 people have been killed.
