The Kogi State police command banned restricted street protests, highway blockade and bonfires to Obasanjo Square (old Paparanda Square) in Lokoja.
As the meeting between government and labour failed to reach a compromise yesterday in Abuja, labour movements are expected to return to the streets on Monday to press home their demands.
The State Commissioner of Police, Mr Marvel Akpoyibo, told newsmen in Lokoja that the protests had now been limited to the Obasanjo Square in a bid to prevent hoodlums from taking advantage of the protests to loot and destroy public property.
Akpoyibo lauded the leadership the NLC and the TUC for the initiative.
The commissioner said that labour had resolved with immediate effect that “no person or group of persons should be found on the streets protesting, blocking the highways or making bonfires to prevent hoodlums from hijacking the exercise”.
