Nigeria elections: Police disrupts meeting against ‘Lagos cabal’
Policemen numbering about 30 barricaded the venue of a Free Lagos Orange Movement gathering on Thursday.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that security agents prevented many members of the group who had arrived at the venue in about three BRT buses from attending the event. The co-convener said it was time to free Lagos State from what he called ‘bondage’ and allow the will of the people to prevail, urging residents to free themselves and their future in the coming election.
Journalists and some group members who had gained access before the arrival of the security agents waited for hours for the commencement of the programme slated for 10a.m. “We are resolving the issue with the Police. We are on top of the situation, please, bear with us, we will soon start,” he had said.
Normalcy, however, returned to the hotel later as the gate was open for movement after all buses conveying people into the venue had all been turned back successfully.
