February 06, (THEWILL) – The Lagos State Police Command has arrested some Yoruba Nation agitators planning to protest in the Alausa area of the state.
Spokesperson for the Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this in a tweet on Sunday.
“Earlier today, a number of Yoruba Nation agitators commenced setting up camp at Alausa, planned to be used as a base to launch a massive protest.
“Camp was promptly dislodged while agitators were arrested. Investigation continues at State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID).
“Protests that started with this format, in Lagos, always snowballed into infringement of the rights of others, destruction of property and difficult-to-manage situations.
“At Lagos State Police Command, we put crime statistics to use,” Hundeyin said, adding that section 4 of the Police Act 2020, stated that the police shall maintain public safety, law and order and also protect the lives and property of all persons in Nigeria.
