The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has banned the protest by unlawful societies, under whatever disguise, from staging rallies or protests within the state on Thursday, 1st October, 2020.<\/p>\n

As a result, he has instructed officers and men of the command to disallow any gathering of that nature.<\/p>\n

The Police boss who read the riot act Wednesday during a security meeting with the Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers and Heads of Department at the conference room, State Headquarters, GRA, Ikeja, used the opportunity to announce the cancellation, by the Lagos State Government of the ceremonial parade to commemorate the Nigeria’s 60th Independence Anniversary.<\/p>\n

CP Odumosu further warned that the command will not allow any gatherings, rallies or protests against the sovereignty of Nigeria in the state.<\/p>
