Big Brother Naija star Natacha Akide, popularly referred to as Tacha, has praised the Lagos State Police for firing tear gas at the crowd during singer Mohbad’s candlelight procession at Lekki tollgate on Thursday night.
It was reported that after the procession at Muri Okunola Park in Victoria Island, the police fired tear gas canisters at some of Mohbad’s supposed mourners who converged at the Lekki tollgate.
The Lagos State Police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, had on Friday stated that the crowd was dispersed because the group had brought motor movement on the route to “a total standstill, leading to traffic build-up.”
According to him, the procession was meant to end by 8pm.
In reaction to the development on Friday, Tacha via her Instagram handle commended the police force for dispersing the crowd after the procession.
“Kudos to the Nigerian police. I have seen videos of police begging people to dispatch themselves. We did not come out to continue #Endsars. Everybody came out for Mohbad’s candlelight procession. We can all agree that the organisers said you can all go home. But if you want to protest, get a date approved by the government, and you can go out to protest. Stop changing the narrative.” The post wrote.
