We’ll never allow #EndSARS protests anywhere again –IGP
Consequently, the IGP has said the police would not allow a repeat of the October experience as, according to him, even the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), does not protect violent protests.
Adamu, however, assured the public of the readiness of the Police to allow for peaceful protests, which he noted, was guaranteed by the Constitution. The police chief spoke in Abuja, at a conference with senior police officers, which aim was to review the security situation in the country, with a view to evolving new operational strategies, for effective and efficient policing system.
He said: “We will never allow this type of #EndSARS protests again, it was violent. Peaceful protest is allowed in our constitution. When this process started peacefully, we provided security for them. “We were moving with them to make sure they were not molested by any group of people and it was going on well, until it turned violent.
