Police Declare Sowore Wanted, Order Arrest Over Planned Lagos Protest.
According to Vanguard on Monday, November 3, 2025, the Lagos State Police Command has ordered the arrest of activist Omoyele Sowore. The police accuse him of planning to cause public disorder and block major roads in Lagos.
Police Commissioner Olohundare Jimoh told reporters at the Third Mainland Bridge that Sowore and others are trying to organise protests that could disrupt traffic at key locations like the Third Mainland Bridge, Lekki Tollgate, and Freedom Park. “Sowore should surrender at the nearest police station or face arrest wherever he is found,” he warned.
The police said 13 people connected to the planned protests have been arrested already, but Sowore has not yet been caught. The Command stressed that blocking roads, especially the Third Mainland Bridge, risks serious traffic jams and endangers commuters. The bridge was never designed to hold stopped vehicles for long.
Security officers have been deployed across major highways with roadblocks to prevent disturbances and protect important infrastructure. The police also said recent demolitions in areas like Oworo-Soki have raised tensions, but the government claims residents have been compensated.
The Command reminded Lagosians that freedom of expression is allowed but must not endanger public safety or cause chaos.
