The Lagos State Police Command has arrested twelve (12) suspects in connection with circulating handbills and posters information on social media attributed to “OJE PARAPO OF OREGUN”. The publication from this group was warning and restricting the general public from freedom of movement, expression, and dignity to human persons.
The Command described the action as lawlessness which is unacceptable and the Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh therefore directed the suspension of the festival because it is believed it could lead to disturbance of public peace, safety, and public order in the State.
This restriction suffices to make it clear that no group should take laws into their hands and prevent other Nigerians from movement around throughout the State at will at any time.
The Lagos State Police Command reiterated it's resolution to firmly protect the fundamental human rights of everyone in the State. The Command further warns anyone planning unauthorized gatherings or activities that are capable of threatening public peace and safety to desist forthwith from such plans.
