bloomshorts Kaduna Police Command’s Directive
The Kaduna State Police Command has issued a stern warning against a planned rally by supporters of Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, intended to celebrate his birthday. The Command has vowed to arrest anyone defying this ban.
Reason Behind the Ban
According to the police, intelligence reports suggest that criminal elements might exploit the rally to incite violence and disrupt public peace. The rally’s timing clashes with scheduled political primaries, raising concerns over potential clashes and lawlessness.
Police Statement
DSP Mansir Hassan, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, emphasized that all political rallies remain suspended until the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officially commences political activities. The police are committed to ensuring public safety and will take legal action against violators.
