Police We Did Not Stop Any Protess In Abuja.
The Nigeria Police command has place out a statement jotting that they did not ban Nigerians from protest.
Due to a statement signed by CSP Frank Mba, that was issued yesterday by the FCT Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mbu was only an advisory notice and not a ban.
See the statement below.
The Police High Command wishes to inform the general public that the Force has not issued any order banning peaceful assemblies/protests anywhere in Nigeria.
It notes however that against the backdrop of current security challenges in the country, coupled with a recent intelligence report of a likely infiltration and hijack of otherwise innocuous and peaceful protests by some criminal elements having links with insurgents, the Police only issued advisory notice, enjoining citizens to apply caution in the said rallies, particularly in the Federal Capital Territory and its environs.
Telling the citizens that they are strongly advised to reconsider their positions on the issues of rallies and protests in FCT until the existing threats are appropriately neutralized and removed from our midst by relevant security agencies.
However, the IGP reassures citizens of the commitment of the Force to the protection of lives and property and advancing the course of democracy in Nigeria.
