POLICE ARREST YORUBA NATION AGITATORS IN LAGOS
Read Time:1 Minute, 48 Second
By Aishat Momoh. O.
In the early hours of today, the Lagos State Police Command detained two Yoruba Nation agitators.
With the slogan “Yoruba Nation has taken over,” the fifteen agitators assaulted the Alausa Police Division at around 05:35 today, injuring some officers who tried to disperse them. Following the swift and well-coordinated police response, two of the agitators were detained while the others fled.
The suspects, who were found in possession of charms, lethal weapons, and various offensive insignias bearing the Yoruba Nation Army, attacked Alausa Division with other members of the organization around the same time that another subset of the gang was attempting to seize control of an Ibadan, Oyo State, radio station.
They claimed they came to officially inform the Police that the United Nations had granted approval for the take off of Yoruba Nation.
The arrested suspects are currently assisting the Police in the ongoing investigation into the subversive plans of the group as well as their network of sponsors, all of whom will soon be unveiled and brought to deserved justice in the overriding internal security interest of the State.
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Idowu Owohunwa, uses this medium to warn all subversive elements to steer clear of the state as the Command is fully ready and has the strong will and operational orientation to bring the full weight of the law to bear on them or on any other elements that might attempt to disrupt the stable security order in Lagos.
The CP notes that the Command, while working in synergy with other security agencies, has maximally deployed its intelligence, human and operational assets across the length and breadth of the state to effectively suppress any ill-advised person or groups under any nomenclature who might be attempting to test the law enforcement will of the Command before, during and after the May 29, 2023 inauguration.
CP Owohunwa equally appreciates the good people of Lagos State for their unrelenting cooperation with the police and urges them to continue to manifest their patriotism by promptly reaching out to the police or nearest security agency whenever the need arises.
