FCT Police Commissioner, Mbu Joseph Mbu, Monday announced that
henceforth, all protests by groups seeking the release of the over 230
girls of the Government girls college, Chibok abducted by Boko Haram
terrorists, have been banned in the FCT.
He claimed that security operatives have intelligence information that
the activities of protesters may be cashed in on by terrorists to bomb
the FCT.
CP Mbu also disclosed that all permits for tinted glasses issued by
the Police have been cancelled and that only the Inspector General of
Police can not issued permit for tinted glasses.
In a statement CP Mbu said, "You will recall that the first peaceful
protest on the "BRING BACK OUR GIRLS" (Chibok) took place on the 28th
April, 2014 which I took part in the procession until when the Senate
President and Speaker addressed them".
"The protest continued and on the 22nd May, 2014 they were again
addressed by over Ten Ministers, SGF and others".
"They are still unrelenting; the group has now shifted to Maitama
Amusement Park. This area is very close to the residence of
Diplomats".
"Again a new group RELEASE OUR GIRLS suddenly emerged and started the
same protest, it has degenerated to the extent that they are now
selling and cooking at the Unity Fountain".
"The trend is now posing a serious security threat to those living
around and citizens who drive through".
"We are all aware of what happened yesterday 01/06/2014 in Mubi Adamawa State".
"As the FCT Police boss, I cannot fold my hands and watch this lawlessness".
"Information reaching us is that too soon dangerous elements will join
the groups under the guise of protest and detonate explosive aimed at
embarrassing the government".
"Accordingly protests on the Chibok Girls are hereby banned with
immediate effect".
"I urge all to encourage our security agencies in this war and
appreciate them for the sacrifices we have made and are still making".
