The Lagos State Branch of the CLO made the call after an emergency General Meeting, stressing that its decision was informed by the current security situation in Nigeria.
The CLO statement was jointly signed by its State Chairman, Ehi Omokhuale, and the State Secretary, Evelyn Akpa.
Speaking further in a telephone interview with Lasgidi FM News Desk, the Lagos CLO Chairman said the group observed that attacks by bandits, kidnappers and terrorists have eroded the safety of citizens across Nigeria.
