The Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State has issued a stern warning to residents against gathering or participating in the planned protest, within the council area.
The Council Chairman, Mr Valentine Buraimoh, gave the warning in a statement on Wednesday in Lagos.
Recall that a nationwide protest against hunger and the rising cost of living is planned to hold from August 1 to August 10.
The locations for Lagos State are Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park, Ojota, and Peace Park in Ketu.
According to Buraimoh, none of the locations approved for the planned protest in the state was in AOLG.
“As your Executive Chairman, I am compelled to warn that any gathering or protest within AOLG will be in contravention of the court’s judgement.
“I urge you all to respect the law and refrain from participating in any protest or gathering within our local government area.
“Let us prioritise peace and order in our community,” he said.
Buraimoh assured residents that he would continue to work tirelessly to ensure their well-being and safety
