By ABIODUN JIMOH, ABEOKUTA

Those planning to attack public or private warehouses, storages, commercial premises, public buildings and private businesses have been warned by Ogun State Government to desist from going ahead with their plan.

In a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Alhaji Abdulwaheed Odusile in Abeokuta warned of dire consequences should anyone attack any of such facilities.

The statement came against the backdrop of audio messages trending in some circles detailing plans by some criminal elements who had hijacked the peaceful #EndSARS protests to attack government properties in different locations in the state with the intention of looting such.

“Our combined team of law enforcement agents have been put on the alert to protect public buildings and similar properties belonging to the government and other prominent facilities in all locations around the state.

“Anyone planning to attack any of these facilities is advised in their interest against such move.

“The government, while in support of the legitimate demands of the #EndSARS protesters, will deal decisively with any act or conduct by hoodlums  likely to lead to a breach of public peace,” the statement said.
