Owoseni, said that there was no official request from the protesters informing security agencies of their plan.

He went further to say that according to Wednesday intelligence reports, it indicates that criminals might hijack the process.

The police chief then said, the command wasn’t ready for that kind of demonstration and as such would not allow the protest to hold.

In his own words, Owoseni said:

“Information reaching us revealed that some hoodlums are planning to hijack the peaceful protest. And as such, we won’t allow it to hold in Lagos. We know that Tuface do not have the capacity to contain such a crowd and we will not fold our hands and watch while things go out of hand.”

At a press conference held earlier in the week, Owoseni said:

“The Civil Society had said that they do not need police permission to carry out any peaceful protest, but they should also be aware that there might be those who share an opposing view. This set of persons may want to disrupt the peaceful demonstration and would want to attack demonstrators.

This is why we advise individuals or group of persons who may wish to embark on civil demonstration to inform the police so that adequate security arrangement would be provided.”
