IGP Adamu Warns Against 'Revolution Now', Calls it "treasonable felony" by fergie001: 5:55pm On Aug 03, 2019
The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, has raised concerns about a planned ‘revolution’ march against the Nigerian government by the Global Coalition for Security and Democracy in Nigeria, calling it a ‘treasonable felony’ and warning that acts of terrorism would not be tolerated.

Adamu, who gave the warning in Abuja, said that the Nigeria Police Force would “not stand idly-by and watch any individual or group” cause anarchy in the country.

The IGP, while stressing that Nigerians have the right to protest, however warned that such rights should not translate to a violent and forceful change of government which, he said, would amount to a “clear revolution.”

In a statement signed by Force public relations officer Frank Mba, IGP Adamu says:

"The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to a video circulating on the social media by the ‘Global Coalition for Security and Democracy in Nigeria and others’, inciting Nigerians, home and abroad, to join a planned ‘revolution’ march against the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on Monday, 5th August, 2019 with the sole aim of forcing a regime change in the country.

“The Force wishes to state unequivocally that the call amounts to treasonable felony and acts of terrorism and will, therefore, not stand idly-by and watch any individual or group in the society cause anarchy in the land. While acknowledging the rights of Nigerians to embark on protest, the Force wishes to note that such rights should not translate to a violent and forceful change of government which clearly is the meaning of ‘revolution’. Needless to state that Nigeria is a democratic republic and has well-defined processes for change of government, exercised periodically during various cycle of elections.

“The Force therefore warns the organizers, sponsors, allies, supporters, associates and sympathizers of the group ‘Global Coalition for Security and Democracy in Nigeria’ to, in their own interest, steer clear of any such planned protest, demonstration, acts of incitement and proposed “revolution”, as the full wrath of the law will be brought to bear on any individual or group engaged or found participating in the above planned criminal act.

“Parents and Guardians are, therefore, enjoined to impress on their children and wards not to allow themselves to be used in whatever form by any person or group of persons to cause breach of law and order in the country. The Police will work with other Law Enforcement Agencies and positive minded Nigerians to protect, defend and secure our public peace and space.”

Buhari is here to oppress and suppress the citizens of this country. If you think he gives or ever gave a fvck about you the citizens then i guess recent events have exposed such tomfoolery. The police will come out with AK 47s and kill as much people as possible who dare to flaunt this directive. Hope Nigerians can now see the difference between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Do you expect him to do nothing when the protesters say they want to force a regime change? You can't force a regime change in a democracy.

Would Sowore have called for a Revolution if he had won the election?

If Sowore or any other person had won fair and square, it would have been a fresh opportunity to be hopeful, at least it won't be rigging to re-inforce failure.

I have made up my mind to protest for my children and grand children... your wealth may keep you comfortable, but only a working system would keep your generation comfortable.

Calling for a revolution is different to calling for a protest.

Sowore called for a revolution, no reasonable government would sit by and watch someone call for a revolution.

As usual those who are condemning these are the 5 percenters and the wailing wailers who are still awaiting the coming of Atiku like the second coming of Jesus Christ.

That's the reason I love the Arabs like in Tunisia, Syria and Algeria. Immediately after the arrest of Sowore thousands of them would have occupied the streets of Abuja already.

But what do we have here in Naija?

Revolutionaries who are cocked locked and ready.
Fully strapped, ready to throw stones and shoot bullets from Nairaland and Twitter.

Even to carry ordinary placard sef, they would do it on the internet.

Yeye.

A lot of people here do not even know what a revolution is!

buhari, oyegun & APC protested against insecurity in the previous administration.

Just 5 years ago.

And these set of Ruga mofos are using forces against similar protest. You will all never end well.

Most times you speak and write like a well trained terrorist. Nothing about you seems right. I am 100% certain you are not Yoruba like you claim to be. Am sure you are from one of these unknown tribes in Kaduna or North West.

if nothing has been done about BH and other bandits....u will be a refugee in another country by now.
Yes the war is not yet won, but saying nothing is being done about them is a fallacy. You are being warned now, if not the BH treatment will be given to u. I created a thread about the revolution talk.....its a treasonable felony.....u have been warned. Dont come and create wailing threads if any of your loved ones dies....i will have said u, but u will have been long one and wont be able to create a thread
