The Lagos State Police Command has announced a ban on all forms of protest or gathering in the state.

The Public Relations Officer of the command, Muyiwa Adejobi, in a statement, on Tuesday, said the ban was as a result of violent attacks on police officers and other innocent Nigerians by hoodlums, in recent days.

Adejobi said the 24-hour curfew imposed by the Lagos State Government, which takes effect from 4:00pm on Tuesday will be fully enforced.

“Due to the new development of violent attacks on police officers and men and formations including innocent Nigerians in Lagos  State, and the 24-hour curfew imposed by the Lagos State Government with effect from 4pm of today.

“20th October 2020, the Lagos State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that henceforth no protest or gathering or possession, under whatever guise, is permitted within Lagos State,” the spokesperson said.

Adejobi further said, “In the same vein, the command regrets to confirm the setting ablaze of  Orile Police State today at about 10am, where some of our policemen were critically injured and unconfirmed reports state that one of them is dead.

“While the command is resolute in the sustenance of human rights and democratic tenets, the general public is hereby warned to comply with the curfew and desist from any act of violence in the state as the command will resist such in totality.”
