The Lagos State Government has deployed men of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) to the streets ahead of the nationwide hunger and hardship protests billed to commence on August 1.

The heavy presence of police officers of the RRS and Task Force were seen on streets around the state Wednesday, as they engaged in patrol exercises.

The operation took off from Alausa, Ikeja through the old Tollgate, Ojota, Ogudu, and Iyana Oworo to the 3rd Mainland Bridge axis.

Some officers were also seen matching through Lekki streets to the Lekki Tollgate area.

This is as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume on Wednesday, called on Nigerians not to embark on the planned nationwide protests amid the economic crisis in the land.

Akume who made the call during a press briefing in Abuja, said President Bola Tinubu’s administration, is making concerted efforts to solve the myriads of challenges confronting the nation.

Tinubu, Lagos APC endorse Sanwo-Olu, Hamzat for second term

Following speculations flying around that Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, may be denied his second term in office and that a Muslim candidate had been preferred to get the ticket, the National Leader of All Progressive Congress (APC),Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and other strong members of the state chapter of the party have cleared air on their positions by officially endorsing Sanwo-Olu and his Deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, for another term in office.By making their positions public ahead of the gubernatorial primary, it is an indication that whichever candidate also wish to pick form of interest could go ahead to do so, but would not get their support nor be anointed by them regardless of relationship that existed before now.
