Yoruba Nation: No rally is allowed in Lagos – CP Odumosu

The Commissioner of Po­lice, Lagos State, Hakeem Odumosu, has warned that no rally would be allowed under whatever guise in any part of the state.

The police boss gave this warning during a press briefing on Thursday, following the news going the rounds that a group of people were planning to stage a mega rally in continuation of the secessionist agenda for Oodua Republic on July 3 2021 at the Gani Fawehimi Freedom Park, Ojota, Lagos State.

Odumosu, however, as­sured Lagosians of ade­quate security across the state, adding that the state could not afford to experi­ence any security lapses, breakdown of law and order and threat to public peace at the moment, considering the negative effects of the October 2020 violent #End­SARS crisis that led to mas­sive destruction of public and private facilities and some police personnel lost their lives.

“The command, there­fore, warns the organizers and their followers against staging the planned rally and stay clear of streets of Lagos for the interest of the state and the general public as anyone caught participat­ing or facilitating the rally will be dealt with within the ambit of the law,” he said.
