The Zone 2 Police Command oversees Lagos and Ogun States.
A statement signed by the Zonal Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, a Superintendent of Police, Hauwa Idris Adamu, said Ari during the intense meeting stated that it was within the constitutional right of the citizenry to embark on strike and to protest peacefully but any form of breakdown of law and order must not be tolerated from any group of persons or individuals.
He said law-abiding citizens should go about their lawful businesses without any fear of molestation, intimidation, and harassment.
This was also as the AIG warned criminal elements to relocate from Lagos and Ogun States as the long arm of the law will catch up with them as soon as possible if they failed to relocate.
