The police in Lagos State, on Wednesday, uncovered plans by cult gangs to storm the state to celebrate “7/7 Neo Black Movement of Africa, a.k.a. Black Axe Day” despite repeated warnings by the police to members of secret cult gangs to stay away from the state.
Therefore, the Commissioner of Police, Biodun Alabi, has tightened security around the metropolis to forestall the breakdown of law and order.
