The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Ibrahim K Idris NPM, mni wishes to state categorically that at no time did Nigeria Police Force place a ban on peaceful public protest/procession anywhere in Nigeria most particularly Federal Capital Territory.


2. Peaceful Public protest/procession is an integral part of democratic norms in as much as it conforms with the rule of law and public order.
3. The Nigeria Police Force recognises the constitutional rights of every law abiding citizen to express his or her view through public protest/procession and other legitimate means.
4. In order to ensure that public protest/procession is not hijacked by hoodlums and miscreants to unleash mayhem and disturbance of public peace, persons or group of persons undertaking public protest/procession should endeavour to notify the police to enable the police protect and process the public procession through designated routes and destinations.
5. However, the Police will not condone any protest/procession on the public highways and roads inhibiting or disallowing public freedom and right of way.
6. The Inspector General of Police is committed to the principles of democratic policing and adherence to international best practices in public order management. To this end, State Commissioners of Police and Police Commanders are directed to emplace strategies to protect and facilitate lawful public protest/processions as well as protect other members of the public who are not engaged in any form of public protest/procession.

Buhari just make everybody confuse!

Gov Udom will not like this kind of news

Apc government..two faced..believe them at your risk...
Best shot. Observe.

Because them sabi test run.

APC still affirming it undisputed position as the most useless political party & government of all time.Common integrity is so grossly lacking that every statement made by this government,its agents,or even their followers should be taken with a pinch of salt.How did we arrive at this?

Any need to even protest, when killing is certain by your men?

In Nigeria, protest = riot.
Nigeria police won't spare your life...

PDP media and fake news

Then he should crackdown on the police officers that arrested Joachim Iroko.

Mbu can perform better than this man.

Wailers propaganda.

Lienus Mba! IGP Ibrahim K. Idris we've known all these before now it's your office that placed a barn on all protest and after the public outcry some people went behind to advise you on the constitutionality of protest and you are turning around to tell us what you need more enlightenment on.

E good say u don sabi am but why you come Lie Mohammed na, Abi u be minister of information?

He has been confirmed, & therefore graduated from the Lai Institute!!! What a country...

Blackberry falls: screen breaks
Nokia falls: ground shakes
Iphone 7 falls: owner dies

Only that those who protest are security risk in the eyes of the police, and their protest will be put down by all means possible, abi?

Gradually, autocracy is coming to stay in Nigeria.
I know that some stupid fellows will support it. They do not want Almighty Buhari to be distracted by protest(s).
Peaceful protest(s) for a genuine reason(s) is of the fundamental human right in a democratic country.

I paid #2000 into my account yesterday and UBA has not sent me an alert...


hmmmmmm they are looking for trouble oo

space booked! am coming....
