The Kwara State Police Command on Saturday lifted the ban it earlier imposed on rallies and processions in the state.
The spokesman of the command, Okasanmi Ajayi, announced this in a statement in Ilorin, the state capital.
He added that the cooperation and compliance with the order temporarily banning rallies and processions in the state helped the command in preventing criminal elements from taking advantage of the fuel and naira note swap challenges.
The police had announced the ban on Wednesday based on intelligence that hoodlums had perfected plans to hijack any rally/procession to cause chaos and jeopardize the current fragile peace in the country.
But according to the statement reversing the ban, the command under the CP, Paul Odama, thanked Kwarans for their determination to work with security agencies to deepen the peace and harmony in Kwara regardless of the inconveniences.
