Government of Lagos State, Nigeria's commercial hub has warned that it would not allow any protest under any guise anytime soon.

The State Attorney General and the Commissioner of Police at a joint press briefing Thursday, gave the warning stressing that the police is ready to secure the state and ensure that any form of protest or gathering does not take place.

Both government officials cited the wanton destruction of lives and properties that followed the infamous #EndSARS protest late last year as reason for the ban on protests in the State.
