Police Command begs Abuja residents not to join nationwide protest

The Commissioner of Police in charge of the FCT, Benneth Igweh, has begged residents of Abuja not to join the planned nationwide protest, to prevent the destruction of new infrastructure recently put in place by the FCT administration and President Bola Tinubu.

Igwe made this appeal on Monday as the date for proposed protest against economic hardship in the country by unnamed groups draws near.

The CP also paraded the mastermind of the armed robbery gang that killed retired Brigadier General Uwen Harold Udokwerre in Abuja on June 22, 2024.

While speaking on the proposed strike, Igweh said, “Lions do not destroy their den. We have toiled so much to ensure and provide security for the FCT.

“In this process, we have lost officers. Last week we lost two officers, the previous week, we lost one officer over efforts at providing security and safeguarding residents. We don’t want to lose any more people.

“So please dont allow the destruction of what the minister, what Mr President is doing. We have been in this FCT, we know when there are changes, roads, infrastructure. I am pleading with residents, do not join this protest.”
