The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, has warned activist, Omoyele Sowore, and others against mobilizing protests over recent demolitions in the state.
Jimoh gave the warning in Lagos, while addressing newsmen in the Iyana-Oworo axis of the Third Mainland Bridge, saying that the command has made massive deployments across the city to forestall any planned demonstrations that could lead to public disorder.
He said officers have been stationed at strategic points, including the Third Mainland Bridge, Maryland, Ojota, Gani Fawehinmi Park, Gbagada, Bariga Lekki Toll Gate, and other areas to ensure peace and order.
Reacting to the recent Oworonshoki demolition, Jimoh defended the government’s action, describing the affected areas as illegal structures and hideouts for criminals.
He accused some individuals of attempting to exploit the situation for political or criminal purposes, as he further warned that the police will not allow anyone to use the guise of protest to cause mayhem.
