A pressure group, “Every Nigerian
Do Something Positive Development Initiative” has urged the President Muhammadu
Buhari Government to redeploy the Police to curb terror attacks by Boko Haram
and herdsmen in the country.
NAN reports that the group made
the call during a peaceful protest it held at the entrance to the National
Assembly on Tuesday in Abuja.
Specifically, it called for the
deployment of State Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) personnel and those currently
assigned as bodyguards to wealthy people, to secure the lives and property of
the masses.
The Leader, Dr Perry Brimah, a
popular social commentator, also called for the return of military to the barracks,
saying they had no constitutional role replacing the police because the latter
were currently engaged in bodyguard duties.
He urged for immediate
decentralisation amendments to create state police and restore regionalism.
No official of the national
assembly was around to address the protesters as the lawmakers were currently
on a three-week recess.
However, policemen were around,
monitoring the protest.
Leader of the police team, who
declined identity, the police were ensuring that the protesters maintained
peace.
He told NAN that the group was
not violent and had been told that lawmakers were on break.
The protesters carried placards
with inscriptions as “Justice is on its head”, “Justice for 33 victims of Offa
robbery” and “Stop looting by Police.”
