Lagos Government Bans Street Carnivals, Processions During Yuletide by vivianblog(f): 7:17pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
As parts of efforts to protect lives and property in Lagos State and to fight against terror attacks, the state government has banned street carnivals and public processions. The ban, according to the Commissioner of Police in the state, Fatai Owoseni, is also to prevent any act of lawlessness or violence during the Yuletide. Owoseni said this shortly after the State Security Council meeting held in Alausa area of the state. The Lagos police boss also reiterated the ban on bangers and other fireworks during and after the Yuletide. Owoseni also allayed the fears that the state is under any security threat, pointing out that the measures were to ensure security of lives and properties. The police boss said: “We all know that Christmas and New Year are fast approaching. If we look at all we have on ground in terms of strategy and in terms of logistics, the council is convinced and we are reassuring the people of Lagos that Yuletide would be celebrated without hindrance." He also added that “most importantly, we’ve also looked and considered some of the intelligence reports that are coming from different people. We feel that we should tell members of the public that with all the situations that are on ground now, carnivals and public processions would not be allowed. “If anybody should hold a town hall meeting or whatever meeting, they should be limited to the venue or the enclosure in which the meeting is taking place," Owoseni said.

vivianblog: How can you reassure us that we would celebrate the yuletide without any hindrance and at the same time ban us from attending carnivals. So what else is the ban if not an hindrance. The commissioner of police is a confused man |
