Police Vow To Stop Tuface’s Planned Nationwide Protest

The Lagos State Police Commissioner Fatai Owoseni on Wednesday said he will not allow the planned protest organized by legendary Nigerian musician Tuface idibia against the Federal Government slated for February 5 to hold in the state.
Owoseni, who had earlier stated that there was no official request from the protesters notifying security agencies of their plan, said on Wednesday that intelligence report indicates that criminals might hijack the process.
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.”
