His words: “ladies and gentlemen, members and supporters of CCSO-JE have been pushed to the wall and the time to bounce back is now. The era of impunity is gone for good, under the incorruptible leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“We cannot fold our arms and watch IGP Idris perpetuate executive recklessness at this time of our national life when love, Peace, patriotism, unity, and caution should be our watchword.

“As far as we are concerned, enough is enough for IGP Idris. We Accordingly demand that IGP directs his policemen to unseal the National headquarters of Peace Corps Nigeria forthwith in line with the court judgment.

“It is imperative to state these  CCSO-JE shall, without further recourse to the Nigerian Police Force, lead members of the Press and Peace Corps of Nigeria to resume duties thereat if by Monday, November 20, 2017, the office remains sealed”.


Meanwhile, as CCSO-JE and Peace Corps Members unsealed the Office, the Nigerian Police Force prevailed at the venue to maintain peace.
