Police arrest three for staging street carnival in Lagos
The police command in Lagos State has arrested three persons, including a teenager, for allegedly staging a street carnival, which caused a disturbance of public peace.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest in a statement on Saturday evening.
Mr Hundeyin said operatives of the command’s Rapid Response Squad (RRS) carried out the arrest at about 12:23 p.m. on Saturday on Abatti Street, Shasha, Akowonjo area of Lagos State.
He said that staging of the carnival was in total disregard for some laws of Lagos State.
According to Mr Hundeyin, the arrested persons are all males aged 16, 42 and 43.
He said the arrest was sequel to the directive of the state commissioner of police, Adegoke Fayoade, to the commander of RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, to bring to book any person found attempting to break the laws.
“CP Fayoade had earlier met with organisers of the carnival, advising them on the need to get a hall for the carnival and stay away from shutting streets or disturbing public peace.
“The suspects are to be arraigned at the conclusion of investigations,” he said.
