The Lagos State government has appealed to those behind the proposed August 1st protest to reconsider the idea in the interest of peace.
This is just as the police and other security agencies in the state, including the Nigerian Immigration Service, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, and Department of State Security Service have warned against any violent protest in any part of Lagos State.
The appeals and the warnings and the appeal were given on Thursday at a security stakeholders meeting, held at the Police Officers’ Wives Association (POWA) hall in Ikeja at the instance of the Lagos State Police Command.
