The Nigerian Police Force has warned against planned demonstrations by certain individuals and groups to hold protests in several parts of the country today, Democracy Day.

The Force also placed its Zonal Assistant Inspectors General of Police and State Command Commissioners of Police on red alert, directing that they should “collaborate with other security agencies to ensure robust security arrangements are in place to prevent any breakdown of law and order including strategic deployments to protect key infrastructures and ensure that protests, if any, remain peaceful and lawful.”

This warning was contained in a statement yesterday by the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, in which he advised those intending to stage a peaceful protest to inform the police and request for police protection.
