“Henceforth, no protest or gathering or procession, under whatever guise, is permitted within Lagos State.

“In the light of the above, all security agencies have deployed adequate personnel to take charge and enforce the curfew across the state.

Adejobi said that the command was resolute in sustenance of human rights and democratic tenets.

“The general public is hereby warned to comply with the curfew and desist from any act of violence in the state as the command will resist such in totality,’’ Adejobi said.
