The Lagos state police command says it has restored normalcy in the Mile 12 area of Kosofe local government following a violent protest that ensued in the early hours of Friday, February 17.
Legit.ng had earlier reported that the protest was triggered by the constant scarcity of the new naira caused by the newly implemented policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to redesign the naira.
Confirming the state of the protest in Lagos, the command spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, via a tweet sighted by Legit.ng said normalcy had been restored in all areas where violence erupted following an on-the-spot assessment by the state commissioner of police, CP Idowu Owohunwa.
The tweet reads:
“CP Idowu Owohunwa at Mile 12 to have an on-the-spot assessment of the situation.
