The Lagos State Police Command is asking political parties to give advance notice before holding any rallies as the country begins looking ahead to 2027. The request comes directly from the command, with spokesperson Mr Fatai calling on parties to cooperate so that political activities across the state can run smoothly and without incident.
It is a straightforward ask, but one that carries real weight in a city as dense and dynamic as Lagos. Large political gatherings can shift quickly, and early coordination with law enforcement gives everyone, organizers, attendees, and residents alike, a better chance of staying safe.
With 2027 still on the horizon, this early move signals that the command is not waiting for campaign season to heat up before putting guardrails in place. Whether the parties will play along is the question worth watching.
