A human-rights group, ‘Take It Back Movement’ has embarked on a nationwide protest in Lagos State amid the ongoing economic crisis in the country, despite the warning issued by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade.
This is coming after organized Labour announced that it would embark on an industrial action on Tuesday, February 26.
Police spokesman in Lagos, Benjamin Hundeyin, in a statement on Sunday, quoted the Commissioner of Police, Fayoade, as warning intending protesters against violence or acts that could infringe on the rights of others, such as obstruction of traffic and paralyzing the commercial activities in the state.
Fayoade assured residents of Lagos State that necessary security measures had been put in place to protect lives and property, with or without any protest.
However, the ‘Take It Back Movement’ had shunned the police warning as they took to the streets on Monday to protest.
According to Daily Trust, the protesters were seen carrying placards on the streets.
