Though police redeployment is normal during elections; the Oba warned that "any policeman that comes here to cause trouble will fail. I and my people will give him a matching order."
The traditional ruler who urged people of Lagos to cooperate with security agencies, warned Mbu, saying that "nobody can intimidate us. Let it be clear that Lagos is not Port Harcourt."
The Oba gave the clear warning while receiving the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari's delegation in his palace on Friday. He said police officers shouldn't be partisan, saying "police should do their constitutional role without bias."
As a commissioner of Police in Rivers state, Mbu controversially fell out with Governor Rotimi Amaechi as the governor accused him of running a script by Patience Jonathan to distablise the state.
"I want to sound a word of warning to security agencies. If anybody comes here to come and cause trouble he will fail. Others have tried and failed. Sometimes back, someone (police officer) was posted here and he tried me and Asiwaju (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) and I told him he will fail and he did fail," the monarch stressed.
On the quest of the APC to take over the leadership of Nigeria from
Jonathan, the Oba said, "I know the ability of Buhari. He is very
passionate about this country and he will deliver."
