The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) on Monday issued a warning to political figures, as well as to their allies and proxies, who it said were preparing to obstruct Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s inauguration as president on May 29.
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, told reporters on Monday at the Force Headquarters in Abuja that the warning was necessary to address some crucial security issues that have recently dominated the internal security space and the potential to jeopardize democracy in the country.
Baba, who vowed to do everything in his power to defend democracy alongside other security personnel, claimed that some powerful political figures were publicly threatening to sabotage the May 29 inauguration ceremony because they were unhappy with the results of the recent elections.
