He assured residents that the police would not allow any individual or group to destabilize the peace and safety of Lagos.
“The Command is closing in on Omoyele Sowore and others involved in this plot. We will ensure that anyone attempting to incite unrest or obstruct public movement is brought to justice,” Jimoh said.
He also urged members of the public to remain calm and go about their lawful activities, while advising them to report any suspicious movements to security agencies.
“Sowore should surrender at the nearest police station or face arrest wherever he is found.
“Anyone attempting to cause disturbance or block our roads will face the full weight of the law,” he said.
According to the Lagos police chief, intelligence reports indicated plans by Sowore and his associates to stage demonstrations at strategic locations, including Third Mainland Bridge, Lekki Tollgate and Freedom Park.
