President Tinubu’s broadcast, which is believed to have prompted the ban, has not been well-received by the public. Many have criticized the president for what they perceive as an attempt to stifle dissent and silence opposition voices.
This development has raised questions about the state of democracy in Nigeria and the government’s commitment to upholding the rights of its citizens. The ban on protests has also reignited debates about the role of law enforcement in a democratic society and the limits of their authority.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the ban will be enforced and what impact it will have on the rights of the people in Lagos. The controversy surrounding this decision is likely to persist, with many calling for a reevaluation of the government’s approach to handling dissent and criticism.
