The Lagos Police Command has warned against planned protests on Monday at some designated places in the state.

The warning was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi.

According to the command, there are intelligence reports that some people under the disguise of the quashed #EndSARS protests want to start another round of agitation.

The police stated that the state was not ready to accommodate a replica of the October protest.

The statement read in part, “Lagos State Police Command, therefore, warns those who might want to disguise under EndSARS protest to cause another set of mayhem, brouhaha and violence in the state, to desist from such plans as the police and other security agencies will not fold their arms seeing individuals or groups orchestrating another violence and anarchy in the state.

“The command also warns parents and guardians to warn and discourage their children and wards from being lured into any act, gathering or protest capable of causing violence in the state.”
