The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has requested that the organizers of the upcoming nationwide protest provide detailed information about the event to ensure effective security measures.
Commissioner of Police, CP Waheed Ayilara, made this request in a statement issued by ASP Timfon John, the command’s public relations officer, in Uyo on Monday.
CP Ayilara emphasized the need for the police to be informed about the protest routes and assembly points. This request aligns with the directive from the Inspector General of Police, which instructs police commands nationwide to ensure proper security during such events.
“Providing the command with details about the protest will help the police arrange adequate security measures,” CP Ayilara stated.
He also warned organizers and participants about the potential risk of the protest being hijacked by hoodlums.
“The police seek to know the proposed assembly points and routes, the expected duration of the protest, the names and contact details of protest leaders, and measures to prevent any disruption,” he added.
The Commissioner urged the organizers to cooperate with the police to ensure the protest is conducted peacefully and remains free from disruption by unscrupulous individuals.
CP Ayilara reassured the public of the command’s commitment to ensuring the safety of lives and property throughout the protest.
