Joseph enjoined the people to keep calm as normalcy would soon be restored, adding that the command had  dispatched officer and men to the scene of protests on Oba Adesida Road.

“We are aware and our men are on their way to the scene, I will speak with you more later as the incident develops.

“We are trying to coordinate our men so that the incident will not escalate,” he said.
