We Want To Warn Sowore & His Group To Stay Away From Lagos Or Face The Full Weight Of The Law–Police.

The Lagos State Police Command has cautioned activist and political campaigner Omoyele Sowore, along with his supporters, against holding any form of protest in the state over the recent demolition of buildings in the Oworonshoki area.

The command described any attempt to mobilize demonstrations as a direct threat to public peace and warned that such actions would be met with firm resistance.

According to a report by Daily Post on Monday, October 27, 2025, the Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh, issued the warning while addressing journalists at Iyana-Oworo, near the Third Mainland Bridge one of Lagos’s busiest transport corridors.

Jimoh said intelligence reports received by the command indicated that certain groups were planning to stage demonstrations to protest the state government’s demolition exercise in Oworonshoki.

The police chief stressed that the command would not tolerate any public gathering that could obstruct traffic, disrupt daily activities, or escalate into violence.

“We want to warn Sowore and his group to stay away from Lagos or face the full weight of the law,” Jimoh declared. “No individual or group will be allowed to endanger public safety or disrupt the peace we are working hard to maintain.”

The commissioner announced that the command had already deployed a significant number of officers to strategic locations across the city, including Ojota, Maryland, Gani Fawehinmi Park, Gbagada, Bariga, and Lekki Toll Gate, as part of a proactive effort to forestall any unauthorized protest.

He emphasized that the Third Mainland Bridge, a critical national infrastructure linking the Lagos mainland to the island, would be heavily guarded to prevent any attempt to occupy or block it.

Falana made this known in a statement, citing recent examples such as the renaming of “Charley Boy Bus Stop” to “Baddo Bus Stop” by the former Chairman of Bariga Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Kolade Alabi, as well as the naming of two streets after President Bola Tinubu and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

The Bariga LCDA has officially renamed the popular Charly Boy Bus Stop to Olamide Baddo Bus Stop, in honour of award-winning rapper Olamide Adedeji. According to the council, the move is to celebrate his impact and contributions both locally and globally. #olamideadedeji #olamide #olamidebaddo

"You Can Change the Signboard, Not the Legacy!" — Charly Boy Blasts Renaming of Iconic Lagos Bus Stop


Veteran entertainer and activist Charly Boy (Area Fada) is calling out the Bariga LCDA after his namesake bus stop was renamed in honour of music star Olamide Badoo.

While Bariga LCDA Chairman Kolade David says the change celebrates global icons from the area, Charly Boy sees it as a politically driven erasure attempt.

"You can replace a signboard but not a spirit... The name Charly Boy was given by the people, not politicians," he declared on X.

He slammed the move as a fear-driven act meant to bury his activist legacy — one that shook tables and empowered communities.

"Legacy lives in the hearts you’ve changed, not the street signs you alter."

Crackdown On ‘7/7 Cultism Day’ Went wrong In Lagos as Police Arrest Numerous Suspected Cultists.

Punch Newspaper reported on Thursday, July 10, 2025, that police efforts across Lagos State have led to the arrest of several suspected cultists during the notorious “7/7 Cultism Day,” a date often linked to violent clashes between rival cult groups.

Ahead of the day, on Sunday, July 6, the Lagos Police Command issued a stern warning to cultists and deployed various tactical units, including the Anti-Cultism and Special Tactical Squads, the Police Mobile Force, and the State Intelligence Department, to curb potential violence.

Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, had earlier disclosed that 52 individuals were apprehended during raids on suspected cult locations, stating they were planning coordinated attacks.

Further operations were carried out on July 7 in known hotspots such as Ikorodu, Idimu, Mushin, Bariga, and Iyana Iba, where cult members were believed to be gathering to mark the day.

According to law enforcement sources who spoke with PUNCH, the crackdown was based on actionable intelligence and support from residents. “Many of the suspects were caught with dangerous items including weapons and charms,” one officer reported.

Another police source stated the suspects have been moved to the state headquarters for in-depth investigation and potential legal action. A public parade of the arrested individuals is under consideration, though not yet confirmed.

“The crackdown isn’t limited to just 7/7,” an officer said. “It will continue as part of ongoing efforts to ensure public safety across Lagos.”

Commissioner of Police Olohundare Jimoh held a strategy meeting with tactical unit leaders on July 6, instructing them to stop any cult-related disturbances. He assured the public that the police are maintaining high vigilance to protect all Lagos residents and visitors.
