ASUU: Protesting Students Can’t Block Third Mainland Bridge, Police Warn

The Lagos State Police Command has warned aggrieved varsity students protesting the seven-month industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities to desist from any plan to block the Third Mainland Bridge in Nigeria’s economic capital.

Hundeyin also said police officers have been stationed at the end of the bridge which spans over 11.8km to prevent any form of blockage.
