Police arrive Afrika Shrine to stop #EndSARS meeting

New Afrika Shrine

The police have restricted movement in and out of the New Afrika Shrine in Ikeja to prevent a mass meeting on #EndSARS scheduled to take place there at noon on Tuesday.

Police vans were seen parked in front of the relaxation spot.

Musician Seun Kuti had raised alarm on Monday that the police threatened to shut down the shrine if the meeting is held.

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.
