Nationwide Protest: NPF Cautions Against Ill-timed Protest Across The Country by treesun(op): 5:37pm On Apr 06, 2025

PRESS RELEASE
NATIONWIDE PROTEST: NPF CAUTIONS AGAINST ILL-TIMED PROTEST ACROSS THE COUNTRY

The Nigeria Police Force has read in the news that a group called “Take it Back Movement” is planning a protest across various states of the Federation, most especially the Federal Capital Territory, scheduled to hold on Monday 7th April, 2025, a day earmarked by the Federal Government as the National Police Day, to celebrate the resilience and dedication of officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force.

While not against the exercise of citizens right to peaceful assembly and association in Nigeria as enshrined in the Constitution, the Nigeria Police Force is deeply concerned about the motive behind such protest scheduled on the same day the contributions of the Nigeria Police Force to national security is to be celebrated, putting into consideration that such glamorous event would bring together dignitaries from all spheres of life both internationally and within the country, including Foreign Inspectors-General of Police and Diplomats.

In line with best global practices adopted by nations in celebrating the achievements of its Police institution, the Nigerian Government has taken the bull by the horn by declaring every April 7 as National Police Day. The rationale behind staging a nationwide protest on the same day is however questionable and perceived to be a deliberate attempt and unpatriotic act that is capable of rubbishing and maligning the image of the Nigeria Police and the nation as a whole.

The Nigeria Police Force hereby advises the organizers to shelve this planned protest as it is ill-timed and mischievous.

The Nigeria Police Force under the leadership of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, while reaffirming the commitment of the NPF to adequately carrying out its mandate in accordance with the Law and respect for rights of citizens hereby urges all the organizers of the planned protest as well as individuals who intend to join the protest to pursue dialogue by engaging the proper institution of government to press home their demands.

These security agencies are one of the problems we have in Nigeria. You are suffering the hardship but want to suppress the people who wants to protest for you to live a good life. In saner clime police do offer protection for protesters.

Yes. Because I knew this is how Nigeria will turn out under this man. We warned, we pleaded, we sacrificed our time and money to try to get other people to stand against this 8 years torture but some people labelled it tribal stuff.

It's better we suffer well well, by 2031, maybe some people would have grown more brain cells, if not, we enter el ruffai or shettima slavery for another 8 years.

Oh, and MC Oluomo or Kunle poly will be warming up to be president by 2039 grin

Bro I get you. I was one of the people who shouted from the rooftop for Nigerians to reject Tinubu, but he managed to rig himself in. We can't keep quiet when this man is hell bent on destroying Nigeria beyond redemption.

People need to get their priorities right. You protest when there’s democracy, when your voice counts. When there’s dictatorship you fight to restore democracy.

"Nigeria was once a good country ooo. I was recently speaking to some elderly friends that went to University of Ibadan between 1967-1970 and they told me, they once protested because they removed ice cream from their very rich diet.

They told me how they had chicken and other lovely meals in the University of Ibadan"
