Lagos State Police Command noted a panic-laced message making the rounds on social media purporting that motorcycle riders in the state have concluded plans to disrupt social and commercial activities in Lagos State from June 1, 2022, in protest of the ban on the use of motorcycles within six LGAs in Lagos State. 

Benjamin Hundeyin, Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, Ikeja-Lagos, on Sunday, stated that the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Abiodun Alabi, is assuring “All Lagosians that all necessary human, material and operational resources have been deployed across the state to forestall any breakdown of law and order. 

“A carefully drafted security architecture, resulting from a detailed crime mapping of the state, has been emplaced across the length and breadth of the state. 

“In addition, all Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers and tactical commanders have been placed on red alert towards any eventuality.”

CP Alabi, therefore, enjoined all residents of Lagos State to go about their lawful businesses without fear of harassment or intimidation before, during and after the touted date for the purported civil disturbance, as officers and men of the Command are fully on top of the situation.
