The Ekiti State Police Command on Tuesday banned all forms of protest in the state.
The command spokesman, Sunday Abutu, who disclosed this in a statement, said the ban followed the rising threats to the security of lives and properties over the #EndSARS protests in the state.
The Ekiti State government had earlier imposed a 24-hour curfew on the state over the violence that trailed in the protests in the last 24 hours.
