Lagos police have issued a formal request to all political parties operating in the state to notify the police command ahead of any rallies scheduled for 2027, in an effort to maintain public order and ensure peaceful political activities.
Speaking on behalf of the Lagos State Police Command, Mr Fatai urged parties to cooperate with the authorities. “We ask political parties to cooperate with the command to ensure that political activities across the state are conducted peacefully,” he said.
The call comes as Lagos prepares for a busy election cycle, with parties expected to mobilise supporters in a series of public events. By providing advance notice, the police aim to coordinate security arrangements and minimise the risk of clashes or disruptions.
While the statement does not detail specific procedures, it underscores the police’s role in facilitating orderly political expression. The move is part of a broader strategy to keep the city’s streets safe during the high‑stakes political season.
