The Lagos police command says it
will resist any attempt to organise protest within the state.
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, police public
relations officer in the state, announced this in a statement on Thursday.
He said the command gathered
information that some persons within the state are planning to regroup for the
#EndSARS protest.
The spokesman said such
demonstrations, whether peaceful or violent, will not be allowed to take place
“as the government and people of Lagos still nurture the wounds of the recent
Endsars violence that wrecked havocs across the state”.
“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,”
the statement read.
“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.”
Adejobi asked parents and
guardians to discourage their children or wards from embarking on any protest
in the state.
He added that the “possibility of
hijacking it by armed hoodlums to cause grieve and pains like the recent past
is evident.”
“We encourage the general public
to ignore any call for protest and go about their lawful businesses as all
hands are on deck to maintain law and order and public safety across the length
and breadth of the state,” he said.
