The initiator of #DefendLagos, Alabi Oladimeji, has announced the withdrawal of planned counter-protest expected to hold at the #Lekkitollgate today (Saturday).
Oladimeji said this at a press conference hosted on his Facebook page.
According to him, the decision to suspend the planned protest was made after the federal and the state governments’ assurances that no protest would hold at the toll gate.
Oladimeji, however, warned that #DefendLagos would organise a “huge” protest if the security operatives allowed the #OccupyLekkiTollgate campaigners to hold their planned protest.
He said, “No protest from #DefendLagos on Saturday (today). We are simultaneously respecting the state and federal governments.
“I am proud to announce that in the meantime, we will be pending this protest due to the law of the Federal and state governments. We are law-abiding and good citizens, definitely, we should not be the ones seen disobeying any law.
