Barely three days to the planned nationwide protests, the Kwara State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Umar Mohammed, has issued a stern warning to those who may seek to exploit the protest for criminal activities and cause unrest in the state.
He issued the warning on Monday in a statement in Ilorin by the spokesman of the command Ayoola Michael Shola.
Umar disclosed that the command is on red alert, with robust measures in place to ensure law and order are upheld before, during, and after the protest.
He further stated that the command will not fold its hands and watch hoodlums wreak havoc, and vandalize critical national assets and infrastructure, as adequate deployment will be made across the state to ensure watertight security of life and property.
While acknowledging the citizens’ right to protest, commandant Umar, urged the youths and other concerned citizens to lawfully and peacefully express their grievances, ensuring that national security and public safety are not compromised.
He also encouraged law-abiding Kwarans to continue with their daily activities without fear, affirming that stringent measures have been employed to address the envisaged threat.
