According to the statement, “The police were seen with several Hilux vans laying siege to the CDHR National Headquarters Rights House, preventing the participants from holding the programme.
“We, however, use this medium to call on the Inspector-General of Police and the Lagos State Police Commissioner to call these people to order from stopping a lawful and peaceful assembly.
“Otherwise, it will tantamount to gross violation of rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of speech.”
