The Lagos State Police Commissioner, Olarenwaju Ishola, has issued a stern warning to potential troublemakers ahead of the planned October 1 protest.

In a statement signed by police spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin, Ishola emphasized that the police will not tolerate any unlawful acts or violence during the protest.

He urged participants to prioritize peace and respect for fellow citizens.

Ishola revealed that some disgruntled Nigerian youths are planning a nationwide protest in various parts of the state. However, he stressed that protesters must adhere to the law and avoid disrupting public peace or infringing on others’ rights.

The statement explained that the gathering discussed “security concerns within the state following recent agitations and clamour for a nationwide protest provided the opportunity for Lagosians to ventilate their concerns, point out areas of security concern and recommend strategies that would help curb any form of violence within the state.”

The police chief’s warning comes after a meeting with traditional rulers, religious leaders, social media influencers, and other stakeholders on Friday.
