The FCT Commissioner of Police, Bennett Igweh, has urged residents and indigenes not to participate in the upcoming nationwide protest scheduled for August 1, citing potential security risks.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja on Monday, Igweh emphasized the efforts made by the police to maintain security in the FCT, expressing concerns that the protest could undermine these efforts.
“I want to appeal specifically to the residents and indigenes and everybody in the FCT. Please, lions do not destroy their dens. You cannot see a lion who destroys its den. No, I would not like you to join this protest,” Igweh stated, urging the community to appreciate the sacrifices made by law enforcement personnel to ensure their safety.
