The Lagos State Police Command has denied planning any raids for Thursday and Friday throughout the state from 8p.m.
Rumours of a planned general raid in the state by 8p.m on Thursday and Friday surfaced in the social media on Wednesday.
However, State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana, in a statement on Thursday, advised Lagosians to disregard the message which he described as fake news.

“The information is not only false but mischievous, calculated toward creating fear in the minds of the people,” he added.
Elkana urged members of the public who had received the fake news not to forward it to others.
He assured that the Commissioner of Police, in the State, Hakeem Odumosu, was totally committed to providing a safe and secured environment for Lagosians.
Elkana said, “The command has emplaced round the clock security across the state.”
This, he said was to allow Lagosians the opportunity to enjoy more of the night life provided by the State.
