The Lagos State Police Command has deployed officers to
guard the Third Mainland Bridge to forestall a possible protest over the
Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, strike.
The operatives, led by DPO of Adeniji Adele, CSP Lanre
Edegbai, are keeping watch at both ends of the bridge.
“We will not allow any person or group of persons deprive
Lagosians of their Right to Freedom of Movement.
“Everyone’s rights must be respected!”, Police spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin said in a Twitter post on Wednesday.
The police deployment followed the reported threat by the
National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) to bring traffic on the bridge
to a halt.
The students had on Monday blocked the road leading to the
Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja.
The blockage generated mixed reactions as some Nigerians
hailed the students, while others accused them of punishing commuters for the
failure of leaders.
