Adeyinka spoke with newsmen at the Lekki Toll Plaza on Saturday.

Policemen had earlier fired tear gas canisters and gunshots at the Ojota venue of the protest on Saturday.

Speaking on why the police fired tear gas and gunshots at the Gani Fawehinmi Park, the governor’s aide said: “I was impressed with the way the police handled that situation, it was not the activists, it was the hoodlums that wanted to hijack that protest.

“The people were at Ojota peacefully. The activists were addressing themselves that what they want is a peaceful demonstration but the hoodlums, the miscreants as we all know them wanted to hijack the peaceful demonstration but the police rose to that occasion and made sure the thing was put in order.”

He added: “The youths in Lagos are ready to work in synergy with the state government. The last thing that happened during the #EndSARS showed how hoodlums hijacked a proposed peaceful protest but we give thanks to God that the youths are able to come together and work together with the governor and make sure there is peace in the state.”
