#EndSARS: We Won’t Allow Any Protest In Lagos, Police Warn Residents

The Lagos State Police Command has said that it would resist any
fresh protest from holding in the city.

The police said this in reaction to the planned resumption of
#ENDSARS protest in Lagos.

Spokesperson for the police in Lagos, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a
statement on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu,
said it would resist any form of planned protest, procession or
gathering under any guise or nomenclature in Lagos as the
government and people still nurtured wounds of the recent EndSARS
violence that wreaked havoc across the state.

He described the protesters as unpatriotic elements, who want to
foment violence in the state.

Adejobi said, “The command wishes to inform the general public
that based on intelligence gathering from relevant intelligence
agencies, some unpatriotic elements or group of people have
concluded plans to orchestrate another set of violence in the state
in furtherance to the recent EndSARS violence, which has been
analysed as dangerous and counterproductive.

“Premised on this, the command, therefore, wishes to warn any
individuals, group of students or any groups who might want to
stage any form of protest, either “peaceful” or violent, or
gathering whatsoever, to desist as the police and other security
agencies will collectively and tactically resist any security
threats or threats to public peace which might be triggered by
protest or protesters in Lagos State.

“The police command, emphatically, warns parents and guardians
to discourage their children or wards from embarking on any protest
in the state as the possibility of hijacking it by armed hoodlums
to cause grieve and pains like the recent past is evident.”
