Lagos police face scrutiny over multiple enforcement actions and protests

Police in Lagos, Nigeria, have been involved in several high-profile incidents that have drawn public attention and criticism. They arrested anti-demolition protesters, though the police commissioner later stated no shots were fired. Separately, police are investigating one of their own divisional police officers over allegations of power abuse, while also denying similar allegations.

Other enforcement actions included arresting a man for sending bomb threats to schools, seizing 70 motorcycles from restricted routes, and detaining 281 people described as 'street urchins' to restore public order. The Lagos State Assembly has backed the demolition of illegal structures, which is connected to the protests.
