Lagos State Police Command has said it will not allow any rally in the state under any guise.
The state Commissioner of Police, HAKEEM ODUMOSU, warned organizers of the planned Yoruba Nation rally and their followers to stay off the streets of Lagos, adding that anyone caught would be dealt with according to the law.
ODUMOSU said intelligence reports available to the police indicated that some people had perfected plans to infiltrate the protesters and cause more mayhem in the state.
He said Lagos State cannot afford to experience any security lapse, and threat to public peace at the moment, considering the negative effects of the October 2020 violent #EndSARS crisis that led to massive destruction of public and private facilities, while some police personnel paid the supreme price.
We learnt that IGBOHO, who spoke to the BBC News Pidgin, has also announced the suspension of the Yoruba Nation rally.
