Tacha Akide, commonly known as Tacha, from Big Brother Naija, has praised the Lagos State Police for using tear gas on the audience during singer Mohbad’s candlelight march at Lekki tollgate on Thursday night.
The organisers of the activity had earlier stated in a post on his social media handle that a candlelight parade will be held at Muri Okunola Park on Thursday in honour of Mohbad.
It was also claimed that following the parade at Muri Okunola Park in Victoria Island, police shot tear gas canisters at some of Mohbad’s supporters who had gathered near the Lekki tollgate.
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.”
Kanyidaily recalls that Tacha Fired Back At Man Who Trollled her in a viral video.
