Yoruba Nation: No Rally Will Be Allowed In Lagos — Police

Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, CP Hakeem Odumosu, yesterday, handed down a warning to self-acclaimed Yoruba freedom fighter, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, not to stage any rally in Lagos,  threatening to deal with decisively with anyone who violates the directive.

The planned rally slated for tomorrow at the Gani Fawehimi  Freedom Park, Ojota area and other parts of the state, was aimed at driving home Igboho’s agitation for the Yoruba nation.

Although Igboho  has assured that the rally would be peaceful, the CP insisted that the command would  not allow any rally to hold, in order to avoid a repeat of a total breakdown of law and order as witnessed in the  hijacked EndSARS protest, last year.

He further disclosed that the command was aware of alleged plans by the organizers’ foot soldiers to embark on a procession on the streets of Lagos as part of the programme for the planned mega rally.

He therefore, appealed to Lagosians  to shun the rally and called on  parents and guardians  to discourage their children and wards from participating in it.
