BREAKING: Unknown gunmen kill two traditional rulers in Njaba Imo

There will be no End SARS anniversary protests in Lagos on Wednesday, the police have said.

The security agency said it never agreed to allow street protests in commemoration of October 20 anniversary of the demonstration, which cost many lives last year.

 

Public Relations Officer, Adekunle Ajisebutu, in a statement on Tuesday, announced that only indoor and virtual gatherings will be allowed.

 

He said after a critical assessment of the planned protests and attendant implications on public safety, “the command considers it inappropriate to allow such protests to hold”.

 

“It will not stand aloof and allow breakdown of law and order which the protests may cause.”

 

The police vowed to forestall a recurrence of the gory scenarios which claimed the lives of officers, civilians and businesses in 2020.

 

“The police will not abdicate the protection of lives and property by allowing avoidable incidents”, the PRO added.
