Crisis: Don’t disturb peace of Lagos, CP Abiodun Alabi warns

176

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi has warned that any person or group of persons found disturbing the peace of the state, under whatever guise, will be decisively dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the law.

This warning became imperative following the unprovoked and wanton armed attack on police officers who dutifully dispersed an unlawful gathering in the early hours of today at the Ojota area of the state.

In a statement signed by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, the CP said  the command was not aversed to peoples’ right to freedom of assembly and association; and expression, the Command will equally live up to its mandate of ensuring that no person or group of persons was allowed to infringe on the fundamental human rights of others, especially the rights to freedom of movement and right to dignity of human persons.

Alabi therefore called on parents, guardians, opinion/religious/community/political/traditional leaders to warn their children/wards/constituents/followers to desist from all forms of unlawful actions “as the command will not tolerate the slightest form of attack on its personnel or the good people and residents of Lagos State.”

Meanwhile, the CP urged all peace-loving Lagosians to go about their lawful duties without fear of harassment or intimidation, as all adequate security assets have been strategically deployed to ensure their safety and security.
