“The Surulere police station got distress calls from neighbours in that area of loud music. Our men located the address and the music was still playing. According to the report that I got from the DPO, they had over 50 persons celebrating.

“When they saw police, some of them ran in different directions but we eventually had about nine persons arrested. The speaker was also seized. Two police officers were injured from the brief we got because they went in small numbers. They never envisaged that there would be resistance,” he said.
