By DANJUMA JOSEPH, Lafia –
The police in Nasarawa State have banned all forms of protests in order to forestall the breakdown of law and order in the state.
The command’s Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Ramhan Nansel, disclosed this in a statement issued in Lafia on Sunday.
According to the statement, “The Nasarawa State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that all forms of protest have been banned throughout the state. Therefore, all proposed protests under any guise are hereby prohibited”.
“The police command took this decision in order to prevent a breakdown of law and order and to sustain the peace currently being enjoyed in the state; as the intelligence report on security can no longer sustain any form of protest in the state.
“Consequently, parents and guardians are advised to ensure their children and wards do not violate this order as anyone caught shall be arrested and prosecuted accordingly” the statement reads.
It would be recalled that PDP members in the state embarked on half naked protests for almost a week, demanding that INEC, review the 2023 governorship election which saw the incumbent Governor, Abdullahi Sule, emerged as winner.
