Lagos Police Commissioner Fatai Owoseni Says ''We Will STOP 2face's Planned Protest'' Order From Above Or Legitimate Reason Mr Owoseni?

Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, has warned that the planed peaceful match organised by Music Mogul Innocent Idibia is in danger of being stopped. The protest is being organised to force the government to do something about the present economic crisis that has gripped Nigeria scheduled to hold 6th February 2017. 

Owoseni said: “Information reaching us revealed that some hoodlums are planning to hijack the peaceful protest. And as such, we won’t allow it to hold in Lagos. We know that Tuface do not have the capacity to contain such a crowd and we will not fold our hands and watch while things go out of hand.”

“The Civil Society had said that they do not need police permission to carry out any peaceful protest, but they should also be aware that there might be those who share an opposing view. This set of persons may want to disrupt the peaceful demonstration and would want to attack demonstrators.

“This is why we advise individuals or group of persons who may wish to embark on civil demonstration to inform the police so that adequate security arrangement would be provided.”
