The Lagos State Police Command has banned protests and rallies in the state on October 1 – Independence Day.The statement quoted the Lagos Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, as instructing officers and men of the command “to disallow any unlawful societies, under whatever disguise, from staging rallies or protests within the state on Thursday, 1st October 2020”.
It added that “the command will not allow any gatherings, rallies, or protests against the sovereignty of Nigeria in the state just as he announced the cancellation of the 60th Independence anniversary parade by the Lagos State government.
Is protest in democracy outlawed? Why the harassment and dehumanizing of journalist who did not plan the strikes? The police in this country is taking it too far and definitely will bring down its ratings badly.
Great Country Nigeria... Long live May Disaster visit those that allowing their selfishness making the economy hard. I love my country
The guilty are always afraid. Buhari that benefitted from the benefits of protest is the same man who has refused to allow people to protest.
It's quite a pity. We being our own enemy
How could this be in a Democratic setting? We shall overcome the tyrannical system that wore the garment of Democracy. October1stProtest
I wonder where this power to Ban protest was given to the Police. It's not a military regime, in a democracy The Police lacks the power, the court lacks that powers the government lacks that power. These Power only belongs to the people.
Shey we can sha celebrate our independence in peace When a peace protest is ban you should there is no other human abuse wey pax dz
APC governors are tyrants. Obeying their Fulani slave masters. supportreferendum
Oppression and dictatorship
This is unconstitutional,they have no right whatsoever to ban protests!
Protest is a legitimate right of the citizens
Nigerian police is for Nigerians and not for the government in power alone , government will come and go Nigeria will remain
This country is something else
Are we in a Democratic Government or authoritarian?this is madness
BHADAMAN_ 😂😂😂 they’ve used style to stop YeleSowore
They are preparing justification for manhandling of people already...
So where is the independence when people can’t speak ?
Now they are telling us we don't have freedom... so what is the independence means to you
Tinubu and Buhari na d same,argue with ur phone
See their clothes like Vulture own...Awon weyre
God wee punish all of you
Nigeria under siege
Lol... remove democracy from our constitution ASAP! Let’s know we’re in for it
police have no right to block peaceful protesters
Hmmmmm. So sad
This is not your usual 100 naira you collect, let the police go to Brono state to ban boko haram
These kind of things turned to destruction and bandelization of properties police are right
This directive is from Tinubu and his dogs, well we can do the rallies in other yoruba states. We shall see 2023 is already at the door step.
Somebody should pls educate the police that protest is a constitutional right of citizens. To stop protest is abuse of human right
Wetin b dis
The funny thing is YeleSowore will not join the rally. His children and wife are kept safe in the US.
Protest is a fundamental right in any democratic society, why is ours different?
Anybody weh him papa, uncle, aunty, sister,brother, nephew,niece cousin, be dey police or DSS should wan dem that rally is inevitably first of its kind must take place Aluta forever.
Police lacks the power to ban protest. Protest is a constitutional right that no constituted authority can ban. Nigerians reject this impunity, show of force and highhandedness. Tomorrow's protest is not a thing to be merwly hoped for, it is a lifetime struggle to be achieved.
Shoul rather read: Apc bans rallies, protest in Lagos on independence day
Nigeria police lack education.

Police is now making law 🤣🤣🤣

PoliceNG anything that happens to us tomorrow the CP lagos is to be blame
Police have no right to ban protest or rallies
They have no right to ban protest because we claim to be practicing democracy not a banana republic.
As expected.
Under which law is the PoliceNG allowed to ban protest. You guys are seriously overreaching.
Don't know it's now a crime to stage peaceful protest in Nigeria.
The Police commissioner isn't serious at all, banning protest in a civilized county.
So PoliceNG can ban protests? What a wonderful country!
We here for the violence. 😁
They are not serious
Constitutionally and if we had a functioning democracy the power has no right to ban protest... only the court has that right under the law.
Are we practicing democracy or military ruling , Citizens don’t even have the right to perform a peaceful protest , A failed country ruled by failures
What foolish non-existent law allows the PoliceNG to do that? CC MinofPoliceNG
Lhawboy no backing down o
Based on what Constitutional Authority?
Police are not constitutionally empowered to ban rallies and protests.
For the records, we don't have human rights again in Nigeria. So going out tomorrow is at y'alls risk. These men won't hesitate to shoot and kill and remember we don't even have a government. Please sit in your homes tomorrow 🙏
Police your services is mostly needed in borno and kaduna state not for harmless people protesting against bad governance that is effecting many Nigerians including the police and is their constitutional rights to protest
I feel for the people that might die tomorrow.. Honestly, it's going to happen, They are going to open fire on innocent protesters. Stay safe guys
YeleSowore what next bayi
Where is it known that police bans peaceful protests? Where?
Unconstitutional! Where are those fools that conglomerated in Ojota protesting against petrol prices at 87? Sai Baba!!
Police bans protests?! Under what law?! The official rascality in this country is getting out of hand.
Coward
I have always said it; we are slaves in this country. Citizens have the right to protest but slaves don't and that's why we have rulers and not leaders.
Wonderful country.
