The Nigeria Police Force have released a statement advising 2face Idibia and others to shelve the February 6th protest. 

According to the police, they got information that another group is planning to hold a pro-government protest in the same venue as 2face's group and this may lead to break down of law and order. Read the statement after the cut...



The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to publications in the media on the planned protests slated for 5th and 6th February, 2017 in Lagos and other States by different groups, one to be led by the popular musician INNOCENT IDIBIA aka TUFACE and other opposing groups.

2. Nigeria Police Force is deeply concerned with the security implications with regard to the planned protest/demonstrations, and as the lead security Agency in the country, is fully aware and recognizes the constitutional rights of every citizen (including Tuface and his group) to assemble and move freely in any part of the country.

3. In this regard, the Force is also cognizant of its constitutional responsibilities of taking any proactive/ preventive security measures:-

i. In the interest of public safety, public order, public morality or public health.

ii. For the purposes of protecting lives and property, as well as the constitutional rights and freedom of other citizens.

4. The Nigeria Police Force is currently in possession of credible intelligence reports that other interest groups are equally planning to hold a counter protest/matches on the same days at the same places/cities as the Tuface Group. If these various planned protests/ demonstrations are held as scheduled, that there may be breakdown of law and order, with attendant loss of lives and property.

5. To this end, the Nigeria Police Force deems it imperative to issue this press release:-

i. That Innocent Idibia (a.k.a Tuface) and his group are hereby advised strongly to shelve their planned peaceful protest/demonstration in the interest of peace and security.

ii. That the other opposing groups are equally advised strongly to shelve its planned counter protest/demonstration in the interest of peace and security.

iii. That the Nigeria Police Force is prepared to employ every possible legal means for the maintenance of law and order; and for the protection of lives and property.

6. Consequently, members of the public, parents and guardians, religious/opinion leaders and other interest groups are strongly advised to prevail on their children and wards, followers and adherents not to allow themselves to be used by any group to cause disturbance of public peace and break down of law and order.

Who exactly is behind this script being played by the Nigeria Police?

In the voice of papa Ajasco... No way, no way, noooo waaaaay!!!

our mumu don do! #IStandWith2face. IStandWithNigeria. #EnoughIsEnough!

Then it is the job of the Police to ensure the earlier planned protest take place peacefully.

It seems this government is bent on causing chaos.

The authorities never made available the option of postponement of the date, rather they insist on preventing the protest from ever happening.

One thing they should be sure of is that humiliation awaits them in 2019.

lol...

why is this regime afraid of this protest?

if the effort this regime has put into preventing this protest was channelled into tackling the hardship they brought to Nigerian, people would have been organizing solidarity rallies...

even PMB's social media idiots are yapping about how the protest is uncalled for...

I remember when they were planning their 'I stand with PMB' rally, which would have been a massive flop, the silly security agencies didn't try to stop it.

useless government with brain damaged hypocrites as followers...
