The Lagos State Police Command has deployed personnel to major flashpoints across the state, including Lekki Toll Gate, Ojota, Maryland, and Gani Fawehinmi Park, to maintain peace amid reports of protests in parts of the country.
Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, gave the assurance during a “Show of Force” in Ikeja on Monday, emphasizing that Lagos remains safe and calm.
He said the exercise was aimed at reassuring residents and deterring troublemakers from disrupting public order.
“Protests are allowed anywhere in the world, but once you take the law into your hands and disrupt peace, that ceases to be a protest,” Jimoh stated.
He confirmed that all police formations have been directed to provide real-time situation reports every 15 minutes, noting that there have been no incidents of unrest or traffic disruption across the metropolis.
“Lagos is peaceful, and residents can go about their lawful businesses without fear,” he added.
