Hakeem Odumosu, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, on Sunday paraded 49 individuals nabbed during the Yoruba Nation rally held at the Gani Fawehimi Freedom park on Saturday, 3rd July.
Odumosu, speaking at the command headquarters, explained that the suspects were apprehended for defying the ban that no rally or gathering should hold in the state.
In his words, “The press briefing is on what happened yesterday during the Oodua Republic Mega Rally. The Lagos State Government and the police command kicked against any rally of any kind in the state due to the unfavourable intelligence gathered about the rally.
“We advised the demonstrators to steer clear of Lagos State due to the fact that it could not afford another loss that was incurred during the #Endsars.
“Yesterday, some people came to foment trouble in the state during the rally and the command arrested 49 suspects during the rally. The suspects would be handed to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, Yaba, for discreet investigation and prosecution.”
