The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has announced important guidelines for the nationwide protests scheduled to start on August 1.
In a bid to ensure safety and order during these demonstrations, he has instructed organizers to submit their names, addresses, and detailed plans to local police departments.
This requirement aims to facilitate better communication between law enforcement and protest leaders, helping to establish designated routes and minimize the risk of violence or disruption.
Egbetokun also raised concerns about the potential for criminal elements to exploit the protests, urging organizers to remain vigilant against any attempts to hijack their peaceful intentions.
Additionally, he cautioned participants about the possibility of foreign interference, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity of the protests.
By following these guidelines, the police hope to create a secure environment for citizens to express their views while safeguarding public order.
