We came out for Mohbad, not #EndSARS — Tacha reveals

Big Brother Naija star Tacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has expressed her support for the actions of the Lagos State Police during singer Mohbad’s candlelight parade at Lekki tollgate on Thursday night.

Tacha commended the Lagos State Police for their use of tear gas to disperse the crowd at the event. She stated that she appreciates the efforts made by the police to maintain order and ensure the safety of attendees.It was previously announced by the event organizers that a candlelight procession would take place at Muri Okunola Park on Thursday in honor of Mohbad.

Reacting to the report on his official X on Friday, the Lagos State Police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, stated that the crowd was dispersed because the group had brought vehicular movement on the route to “a total standstill, leading to traffic build-up.”

He noted that the police had an agreement with the organisers that the candlelight procession would end at 8 pm.Reacting to the development on Friday via her Instagram page, Tacha applauded the police for dispersing the crowd after the procession.

Tacha posted: “Kudos to the Nigerian police. I have seen videos of police begging people to dispatch themselves. We did not come out to continue #Endsars. Everybody came out for Mohbad’s candlelight procession.

We can all agree that the organisers said you can all go home. But if you want to protest, get a date approved by the government, and you can go out to protest. Stop changing the narrative.”
