On Wednesday the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, has instructed operatives to disallow societies, under whatever disguise, from staging rallies or protests on October 1.
“Anyone arrested for such actions will be prosecuted”, the commissioner warned.
Hakeem appealed to the public to be law-abiding and desist from acts capable of disrupting the sovereignty of the nation.
Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Information and Communication Technology, Celestine Okoye, on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, told police officers to maintain law and order in Lagos and repel forces that can disintegrate Nigeria.
