On Twitter, a clash erupted after Banky W requested security agencies to send officers to enforce social distancing while sharing food in a Lagos community.
Banky W revealed that the police in Maroko had been supportive, but the four officers allotted to him were insufficient for the task.
He tweeted:
@jidesanwoolu @followlasg We just need a little assistance with officers to help us control the crowd and get them to understand social distancing while picking up the food. Please help with Police/Army/Lastma. 10-20 solid officers would be amazing. Pls RT folks
FYI the Police in Maroko has been incredibly supportive but they are stretched thin at the moment, so the 4 officers they are able to give us are not enough
Banky W also mentioned that the Nigerian army had responded to his call via DM.
However, his plea prompted mixed reactions on Twitter, with some arguing against involving security operatives while others defended him.
Here are some tweets below:
