The Lagos State Police Command has declared activist Omoyele Sowore wanted over alleged plans to incite public unrest and block major roads across the state.

Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, revealed this to reporters on Monday at the Iyana-Oworo axis of the Third Mainland Bridge, stating that security operatives are intensifying efforts to apprehend Sowore and other suspects accused of orchestrating actions aimed at disrupting public order.

“Sowore should surrender at the nearest police station or face arrest wherever he is found.

“Anyone attempting to cause disturbance or block our roads will face the full weight of the law,” he said.

According to the Lagos police chief, intelligence reports indicated plans by Sowore and his associates to stage demonstrations at strategic locations, including Third Mainland Bridge, Lekki Tollgate and Freedom Park.
