…says purported protest’ll be unacceptable
The Ekiti State Commissioner of Police, Akinwale Adeniran, has reiterated his commitment towards ensuring the safety of lives and property of the residents.
The Commissioner, in a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Sunday Abutu, revealed this during an emergency stakeholders meeting held in his office to review the rumour circulating on the social media about a possible protest tagged “END NIGERIA HARDSHIP” to be held on Friday by an unknown group.
According to the CP, while the Police recognise the constitutional rights of the citizens to protest or gather peacefully, a situation where such protest or gathering could be hijacked by unscrupulous elements and consequently endangering the lives and property of innocent citizens and the government as well as jeopardizing the current fragile peace in the Country and by extension, Ekiti State, will be unacceptable.
The CP, enjoined all stakeholders, parents and peace lovers to warn their wards to be law abiding citizens and shun all acts that could aggregate tension, cause chaos and puncture the current peaceful atmosphere in the State as those found wanting will be made to face the full wrath of the law.
