NATIONWIDE PROTEST: YOBE STATE POLICE COMMAND CALLS FOR CAUTION AMIDST SECURITY CHALLENGES

By: Our Reporter

As Yobe State recovers from insurgency, the Commissioner of Police, CP Garba Ahmed, acknowledges citizens’ constitutional rights to peaceful assembly. However, we are unprepared to face additional security challenges. Recent insurgency activities in Gujba LGA, including an IED explosion, have raised concerns. We have received intelligence that insurgents plan to exploit planned protests to execute heinous acts.

We commend patriots who have withdrawn from protests due to sinister motives and ignorance of those calling for violence. We note concerns about foreign mercenaries’ involvement in the planned protest.

We urge citizens to exercise caution and think twice before joining any protest group. While we alert citizens to sinister motives, even peaceful protests at this time may be ill-timed. We warn clandestine groups plotting to destabilize the state and hoodlums seeking to exploit protests for criminal agendas.

To facilitate a successful and incident-free protest, please provide the following information:

  • Proposed protest routes and assembly points
  • Expected duration of the protest
  • Names and contact details of protest leaders and organizers
  • Measures to prevent hijacking by criminal elements

By providing this information, we can deploy adequate personnel and resources, designate specific routes and areas, establish clear communication channels, and minimize the risk of violence, property damage, or criminal activity.

We encourage protesters to cooperate with the Police, obey the law, and adhere to global best practices for peaceful assembly. We are committed to working with all to promote peaceful expression and maintain public order.

The Commissioner of Police commends Yobeans for their cooperation in maintaining law and order and urges continued support for security agencies in restoring peace and stability to foster economic growth in the state.
