Police Issue Strong Warning Against Planned
‘‘REVOLUTION’’ Protest
The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to a
video circulating on the social media by the ‘Global Coalition for
Security and Democracy in Nigeria and others’, inciting Nigerians,
home and abroad, to join a planned ‘revolution’ march against the
Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on Monday, 5th
August, 2019 with the sole aim of forcing a regime change in the
country.
The Force wishes to state unequivocally that the call amounts to
treasonable felony and acts of terrorism and will therefore not
stand idly-by and watch any individual or group in the society
cause anarchy in the land. While acknowledging the rights of
Nigerians to embark on protest, the Force wishes to note that such
rights should not translate to a violent and forceful change of
government which clearly is the meaning of ‘revolution’. Needless
to state that Nigeria is a democratic republic and has well-defined
processes for change of government, exercised periodically during
various cycle of elections.
The Force therefore warns the organizers, sponsors, allies,
supporters, associates and sympathizers of the group ‘Global
Coalition for Security and Democracy in Nigeria’ to, in their own
interest, steer clear of any such planned protest, demonstration,
acts of incitement and proposed “revolution”, as the full wrath of
the law will be brought to bear on any individual or group engaged
or found participating in the above planned criminal act.
Parents and Guardians are therefore enjoined to impress on their
children and wards not to allow themselves to be used in whatever
form by any person or group of persons to cause breach of law and
order in the country. The Police will work with other Law
Enforcement Agencies and positive minded Nigerians to protect,
defend and secure our public peace and space.
