EndSARS: Lagos state police command bans all forms of protests in the State
The Lagos State Police Command has banned all forms of protests and gatherings in the state. This development is due to the planned second phase of #ENDSARS protests gathering across the county.
The organisers have raised awareness on social media and this time the protest is based on the release of all protesters detained during the first action, unfreezing of all accounts that were frozen by the Central Bank of Nigeria as a result of ENDSARS protest and a referendum.
However, the Lagos Police Command through a statement issued by the spokesman, Olumuyiwa Adejobi warned that no such gathering would be permitted. It said some unpatriotic individuals and groups were planning to embark on the replica of the recent destructive and violent Endsars protest that left pains and agonies in Lagos State.
A part of the statement reads;
“The command wishes to reiterate that any unlawful gathering, procession or protest will be suppressed professionally in accordance with the provisions of the law”
