The FCT Police command on Monday said it has received information that some persons were planning to block major roads in Abuja.
This is contained in a statement made available to DAILY POST by DSP Anjuguri Manzah, Public Relations Officer of the command.
Although, the statement did not reveal the persons/group, it was
gathered that pro-Biafra agitators were on one hand planning a march,
while some Niger Delta militants were also fine-tuning demonstration
over unpaid stipends.
Manzah, however, warned the, “disgruntled persons against unlawful protest” and to discard their intent to create chaos.
“The Command wishes to state unequivocally that while it will
continue to be professional and respect the fundamental rights of
citizens as stipulated in the Nigerian Constitution, it will not fold
its arms and watch any group under whatever guise jeopardise the
existing peaceful atmosphere in FCT by blocking Federal roads and
denying law abiding citizens easy access to such roads.
“The Command is hereby warning the group to heed wise counsel and
channel its complaints to the appropriate authority,” it added.
