The Lagos State Police Command says no rally will be tolerated at the Lekki Toll Gate on October one.

According to the command, it has become imperative to reemphasise that no form of rally whatsoever will be allowed at the Lekki Toll gate today.

Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, says the emphasis has become necessary to enlighten Nigerians that might be misled into converging at the toll gate.

According to him, a court of competent jurisdiction has ruled that no person is allowed to converge at the Lekki Toll gate for whatever reason.

Hundeyin said the Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi has warned that anyone who disobeyed the court order would be prosecuted.
In conformity with its mandate to protect life and property, Alabi, says the police will leave no stone unturned in ensuring total compliance with the court order and an emplacement of adequate security in the state.
While the Command is not averse to the peoples’ right to freedom of assembly and association; and expression, the Command will equally live up to its mandate of ensuring no person or group of persons is allowed to infringe on the fundamental human rights of others. especially rights to freedom of movement and right to dignity of human persons.
He warned that anyone found flouting the court order or infringing on the rights of other Nigerians will be dealt with in accordance with the law.
Alabi enjoins all peace loving persons to go about their lawful duties without fear of harassment or intimidation, as adequate security have been deployed to ensure the safety of Nigerians.
He reiterated that adequate security assets had been strategically deployed to ensure the safety and security of Nigerians at designated rally venues and across the state at large.
