The Lagos state Police command has described as fake, baseless and mischievous a viral video of protest at Lekki Tollgate, Lagos purported to have been staged on Monday 7th December, 2020.
The command’s Police Public Relations Officer, SP Olumuyiwa Adejobi who disclosed this in a statement in Lagos on Monday debunked the video which according to him had been circulated to create tension and destabilise security network in the state.
According to Adejobi, “The video was one of the viral videos released during the recent violent EndSARS protest before the Lekki Tollgate plaza was set ablaze by the violent protesters on 21st October, 2020.”
He therefore urged the general public to regard the video as baseless and mischievous adding that “the command also wishes to appeal to the general public to remain calm and go about their lawful businesses as the police is prepared to deal decisively, within the ambit of the law, with any act of lawlessness that could lead to break down of law and order in the state.”
