The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba,
has ordered Zonal Assistant Inspectors General of Police and Commissioners of
Police in the 36 states and FCT, to deal firmly with anybody or group of
persons, who may want to take advantage of June 12 celebrations to threaten
internal security order.
Baba stated this on Tuesday, during a meeting with strategic
commanders of the Nigerian Police Force in Abuja.
He whoever warned officers to remain civil with law abiding
citizens.
“June 12 Democracy
Day is days away. We’re currently reviewing the security situation, with a view
to ensuring a hitch-free exercise.
“I must, however, remind you all of the need to remain civil
with law abiding citizens, but firm with any person or group that may wish to
take advantage of the event to threaten our internal security order,” the IGP
said.
Baba’s directive comes amid speculation there might be
protests around the country on June 12.
