The Yobe State Police have warned that Boko Haram insurgents are planning to join and disrupt the upcoming #EndBadGovernance protest in August. This warning came from the police spokesperson, DSP Dungus Abdulkarim, who said that the insurgents have hired foreign mercenaries to cause chaos during the protest.
Police Commissioner Garba Ahmed recognized the right of people to protest peacefully. However, he warned that even peaceful protests could be dangerous right now because of recent insurgent activities in the area. He mentioned a recent bomb explosion in Gujba Local Government Area as an example of the ongoing threats.
The police urged potential protesters to be very careful and consider the current security situation before joining the protest.
- To help keep the protest safe, the police provided some guidelines:
- Protesters should inform the police of their planned routes and gathering points.
- They should also provide the expected duration of the protest.
- Names and contact details of protest leaders and organizers should be shared.
- Protest organizers must plan measures to prevent the protest from being taken over by criminals.
By sharing this information, the police can better prepare and deploy officers to keep the protest peaceful. They aim to avoid violence and protect both people and property.
The police are committed to working with protesters to ensure the protest is peaceful. They urged everyone to follow the rules and cooperate with law enforcement. This way, the protest can safely highlight people's concerns without falling into the hands of Boko Haram.
As the protest date approaches, it's essential for everyone in Yobe State to stay informed and exercise caution. By working together and following the guidelines, the community can make sure their voices are heard without compromising safety.
