The Lagos State Police Command has said security agencies will not fold their arms as youths plan fresh protests against police brutality and extortion.
This was contained in a statement issued yesterday by the Lagos Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, titled: ‘No room for violent protest, gathering in Lagos’.
The statement was issued after a poster titled: “#EndSARS reloaded Phase II” went viral on social media. In a copy of the poster, it was stated that the “phase II” of the #EndSARS protest would begin today, Monday, December 7 in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Delta, and Bayelsa States.
The demands of the protesters, according to the poster, are “Buhari, Buratai, Sanwo-Olu must resign and face ICC for killing innocent Nigerians at Lekki toll; free all #EndSARS protesters; unfreeze all bank accounts of #EndSARS protesters and referendum.”
In reaction, the Police described the organisers as “unpatriotic”, warning that “any unlawful gathering, procession or protest will be suppressed”.
