    The Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun addressed the nation in light of the planned nationwide protests.

    The IGP emphasized the severe negative effects that violent demonstrations can have on our society.

    In his address, the IGP highlighted several critical points that underscored the importance of maintaining peace and order during protests.

    The IGP said: “It is not only in Nigeria that there is hardship. It is a global meltdown. Is the government doing anything about it? Yes! This is what a responsive government will do”.

    ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) disclosed this in a statement signed on Monday.

    IGP Egbetokun stressed that while the current economic challenges were not unique to Nigeria, the government was actively working to mitigate their impact and provide relief to the citizens.

    The IGP Reflected on the 2020 EndSARS protest, saying: “Where police stations were burnt down, criminals took over. Arms looted were in the wrong hands, and armed robbers took over. Women could no longer walk freely once it is 7pm.”

    He warned that the destruction of police infrastructure leads to a breakdown in law and order, leaving communities vulnerable to criminal activities.

    IGP Egbetokun said: “There are enough lessons to learn from previous violent protests in Nigeria”.

    He urged citizens to remember the chaos and suffering that followed such events.

    “Serious dangers come with unchecked demonstrations,” he added, highlighting the potential for loss of lives, property damage, and widespread fear among the populace.

    The IGP acknowledged the right to protest, saying: “The right to protest is a right to peaceful protest.”

    He called on all Nigerians to exercise this right responsibly and to avoid actions that could escalate into violence.

    The Police Boss emphasized that Peaceful protests were a powerful tool for expressing grievances and driving change without endangering lives and properties.

    The IGP reaffirmed the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to protecting the rights of citizens while maintaining law and order.

    He urged all Nigerians to cooperate with the Police to ensure that any forthcoming protests were peaceful and orderly.
