The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, has warned that any person or group of persons found disturbing the peace of the state, under whatever guise, will be decisively dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the law.
This warning has become imperative following the unprovoked and wanton armed attack on police officers who dutifully dispersed an unlawful gathering in the early hours of today at the Ojota area of the state.
Two youths were reportedly shot dead this morning during the crisis
In a statement by the spokesman of Lagos police command SP Benjamin Hundeyin, and intercepted by The SUPREME, the state Command he stated, “is not averse to peoples’ right to freedom of assembly and association; and expression, the Command will equally live up to its mandate of ensuring that no person or group of persons is allowed to infringe on the fundamental human rights of others, especially the rights to freedom of movement and right to dignity of human persons.
