The Lagos State Police Command has justified the use of teargas by its men to disperse fans of the late rapper, Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, aka Mohbad,

The police said Muri Okunola Park in Victoria Island was the approved venue of the procession but after it ended at 8 pm at the approved venue as agreed with the organisers, some persons with ulterior motives converged at Lekki tollgate, obstructing vehicular movement.

“It, however, became disconcerting that after the procession duly ended at Muri Okunola park as agreed, with the police providing optimal security all through, some persons started gathering at the Lekki Toll Gate with intent to manifest objectives extraneous to the #justiceforMohbad initiative. “Having gone down this road before, having learnt from previous similar encounters, and having studied the pattern in the crowd, the red flags and early warning signs of total chaos and anarchy were discernible.
