The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command of the Nigeria Police Force, in anticipation of the planned nationwide protest by some human rights activists and Nigerian youths to publicly express their displeasure over hunger and hardship, has proactively deployed material and human resources at the command’s disposal across the nooks and crannies of the nation’s capital.
In a statement issued to newsmen in Abuja on Friday, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, and the FCT Commissioner of Police, Bennett Igweh, were quoted as saying: “The proactive deployment, which is aimed at ensuring public safety, protecting protesters, and preventing protests from being hijacked by non-state actors, is characterised by visibility policing, the deployment of explosive ordinance devices (EOD) experts and personnel at various strategic locations, raids on identified black spots, uncompleted buildings and shanties, stop and search, vehicular and foot patrol, and synergy with sister security agencies.
“The Commissioner of Police FCT, CP Benneth C. Igweh, psc, mni, while acknowledging the right of residents to protest, advises that it should be peaceful.
“The CP vows to resist all forms of violent protest and lawlessness, as the police will not be stampeded into allowing the destruction of public and private properties or the loss of lives.”
