Etim Effiong
Stern-looking policemen arrived Afrika Shrine in Ikeja on Tuesday morning to prevent a mass meeting on #EndSARS which was to hold in the afternoon.
Seun Kuti, son to legendary Afrobeat musician, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, was said to have raised the alarm on Monday that the police had threatened to shut down the shrine to forestall any planned meeting from holding in the shrine.
It was, however, observed that police van was parked in front of the shrine.
A letter from the police to the shrine read: “You are hereby warned to suspend such gathering as any infraction that may emerge from this gathering will be tagged a deliberate action to sabotage the transition and restoration of the peace in Lagos State by the Lagos State Government and the Nigeria Police Force.”
But Seun says he will go ahead with the launch of ‘The Movement of the People’ although the event will no longer hold at the shrine.
