FCT POLICE COMMISSIONER WARNS RESIDENTS FROM ENGAGING IN PROTEST

The FCT Commissioner of Police, Bennett Igweh, has called on residents and indigenes not to partake in the nationwide protest.

Some groups and citizens had scheduled a nationwide protest for August 1 in response to the economic hardship in the country.

However, the FCT CP, while speaking with journalists in Abuja on Monday, urged residents to shun the protest.

He stated that the police have made significant efforts to ensure security in the FCT, adding that the protest could jeopardize it.

Igweh added that the government was doing its best by providing good roads.

He urged the FCT residents to ensure the nation’s capital remains safe by shunning the protest.
