The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered senior police officers to protect protesters nationwide in the #EndBadGovernance protests scheduled for 1-10 August 2024.
The IG issued the directive in a letter, 29th of July 2024, signed by his Principal Staff Officer, CP Johnson Adenola, following a request by human rights lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN).
Adegboruwa had, on 28 July 2024, written to the police chief seeking police protection for protesters.
According to the letter, the police chief instructed senior officers to comply with the senior lawyer’s request.
It added that the IG also requested a meeting with Adegboruwa at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday to discuss further on his request.
“I am to inform you that the Inspector General of Police has directed the Deputy Inspectors-General of Police (Operations and Intelligence), the Assistant Inspectors-General of Police (AIGs) in charge of Zonal Police Headquarters, and the Commissioners of Police (CPs) in charge of State Commands across the country to attend to your request.
“I am also to inform you that the Inspector General of Police wishes to have a meeting with you at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters, Abuja, on Tuesday, 30 July 2024, to deliberate further on your request,” the letter read. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
