Nigerians Must Think Twice Before Joining Any Protest – Kayode Egbetokun

The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun has come out to say that intelligence at his disposal has revealed that foreign mercenaries are involved in the proposed nationwide protest.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, all Nigerians must exercise caution and think twice before joining any protest group, because several individual are currently promoting peaceful protests with violent undertones.

He added that the violent fears are genuine due to the ignorance of those calling for violence to end the hunger in the land.

His words, “We have been monitoring development surrounding protest threats. While some groups call for violent protests, emulating Kenya’s recent events, others advocate for peaceful demonstrations.

However, some individuals promote peaceful protests with violent undertones, raising concerns about their sincerity. We have our history of violent protests in Nigeria, and I don’t believe we have to look to other countries to note the dangers of unchecked demonstrations. We commend patriots who have withdrawn from the protest due to the apparent sinister motives and ignorance of those calling for violence.

We note those who have spoken out against any form of protest at this critical juncture, fearing enemies of our country may be manipulating the process. We confirm their fears are genuine, as we have credible intelligence on foreign mercenaries’ involvement in this planned protest. The Nigerian police urge all Nigerians to exercise caution and think twice before joining any protest group.”

WOW.
