The thugs broke the Oko Prisons and freed the inmates there and also burnt down a police station in a different State.
It’s in this regard that some States including the Lagos State are imposing curfew and banning protests in the country.
The statement read: “The Lagos State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that henceforth no protest or gathering or possession, under whatever guise, is permitted within Lagos State.”
“In the light of the above, all security agencies have deployed adequate personnel to take charge and enforce the curfew across the state.”
