The Ogun State Police Command has appealed to End SARS protesters in the state to stop killing and maiming policemen.

The police also begged the irate youths to stop attacking police stations all in the name of expressing their grievances.

The Ogun police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, made this plea Wednesday, on behalf of the State Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun.

According to Oyeyemi, the hitherto peaceful protest embarked upon by youths across Ogun has taken a dangerous and violent dimension, saying “some people with ulterior motives are now using the opportunity to commit all sorts of heinous crimes.”

Oyeyemi also confirmed a report, when he said, “Early this morning, the protesters went to Atan-Ota and set the Police station there ablaze; and subsequently murdered the D.C.O, DSP Augustine Ogbeche in cold blood. A civilian also died in the process while some arms were carted away.”

He said they also inflicted serious injuries on the DPO, SP Sikiru Olugbenga, whose whereabouts, he said, is yet unknown.

Oyeyemi confirmed further that some group of boys attacked Obada-oko divisional headquarters in Abeokuta and vandalized it.

“In view of this, the Commissioner of Police Ogun State Command is appealing to the youths to eschew violence and embrace peace as the violence will do no one good.

“He is equally appealing to traditional institutions, parents and other critical stakeholders to prevail on the youths to stop this carnage and give the government a chance to address the situation,”.

Oyeyemi reminded the youths that since the commencement of the protests, the police in Ogun have been nice and civil to them, even when some of the officers were injured and stations damaged; saying, “We even went ahead and released all the 36 suspects we arrested.”

Pleading for understanding, the PPRO said, “if in the course of handling the protests anybody feels offended we plead for understanding and not retaliatory measures including killing and maiming policemen or burning and damaging of police stations.”

He assured that the command will ensure that justice is served to any aggrieved person.

“Please and please, let us continue to embrace peace rather than violence. The Command sincerely appeals to the youths. Parents and guardians are also enjoined to help rein in their children and wards.”

Who would have envisioned a day like this when police go beg common man. We shall all be equal

The police force and govt shud ask themselves what is making these youths this angry and violent and address it squarely instead of their usual the more you see the less you understand approach

When Authorities speak this way, then the madness will stop.
Not when they go issuing empty threats, as if they are better than the American police that even went on it's kneels in solidarity

APC government has finally turned the country up side down.
So police fit humble like this?

With the people you all rendered brother less and widows. You guys are suppose to be hiding your faces in shame by now. So police men lives are this precious as you plead?? The civilian society is waiting for you all after retirements.

Police too dey die? Who is killing you..see mumu people...!!

these hoodlums are very stupid, you preach for change yet you do not change, what is the essence of killing policemen.

When a man is giving a taste of his own medicine, he will realize how bitter it is.

May God help us. The youth protesters and thugs have all tasted the sweetness of their power. The former is still preaching peace but the latter is unleashing violence on the society. The youth precariat has arisen.

Now I know Power Truly Bolongs To The People!

Beware southerners. This is the time to know and understand the true identity of those who cause tribalism on here, they are paid agents, they are neither from east or west. They have more than twenty accounts, they would create tribal topics and make tribal comments with another accounts to cause chaos between southerners. Though, they have no conscience but you can try to educate them or better ignore them. They are easy to identify, use your head brothers.

Also Be aware that tactics and plans has been deployed to cover up the massacre since all their efforts to break southern unity were not fruitful. They have created a lot of Facebook and Twitter accounts with Yoruba or Igbo names for this purpose, one of them is to post pictures or video of people who debunked being killed, those pictures were scripted and earlier been circulated for this purpose. They would discredit real occurrence and give it another title. Beware of the propaganda

these hoodlums are very stupid, you preach for change yet you do not change, what is the essence of killing policemen.
