The Lagos State
Police Command says that it is not planning any raid for Thursday and Friday
throughout the state from 8p.m.
It advised
Lagosians to disregard the message circulating in social media describing it as
fake news.
The Lagos State
Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana, gave the advice in a
statement he made available to journalists on Thursday.
“The information is
not only false but mischievous, calculated toward creating fear in the minds of
the people,” he said.
Elkana urged the
public who had received the fake news not to forward it to others.
He said that the
Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, is totally committed to
providing a safe and secured environment for Lagosians.
He said that this
was to allow them the opportunity to enjoy more of the night life provided by
the State.
Elkana said, “The
command has emplaced round the clock security across the state.
