#EndSARS: Police vow to suppress any gathering or protest in Lagos
The police issued the warning after a poster titled: “#EndSARS reloaded phase II,” went viral on social media.
According to the organizers, the “phase II” of the #EndSAR Protest would begin on Monday, in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Delta, and Bayelsa.
However, the command in a statement titled: “No room for violent protest, gathering in Lagos,” and issued by its spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, described the organizers of the planned protests as “unpatriotic elements.”
He stressed that police and other security agents would suppress “any unlawful gathering, procession or protest” in the state.
The statement read: “The Lagos State Police Command has again warned against any gathering, procession or protest in Lagos State as some unpatriotic individuals and groups are planning to embark on the replica of the recent destructive and violent #EndSARS protest that left pains and agonies in Lagos State
“The command has reliably gathered intelligence that certain individuals/groups have concluded plans to lure unsuspecting Lagosians, especially youths, into their planned protest which is proposed to commence tomorrow, Monday, 7th December, 2020 at designated locations in the state.
