…Says plot to scuttle event real
The Police High Command, yesterday, confirmed that the much-touted plot to scuttle the May 29th official Inauguration of the new administration of the President-elect, Aswj Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Vice, Senator Kashim Shettima is real.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, however, said that the Nigeria Police Force and other security forces, particularly intelligence officials, have launched a massive manhunt against the criminal-minded elements behind the evil plot.
The IGP explained the Police and other security forces in the country decided to embark on a massive manhunt device against such individuals and groups in order to suppress the subversive elements who had been trying to destabilize the peaceful environment currently being enjoyed in the country.
The IGP declared that the security agencies would no longer tolerate any utterance capable of throwing the country into turmoil, adding that any political actor who does not heed the warning will be made to face the wrath of the law.
The Nigeria Police hereby sternly warns all political actors with subversive agenda and their collaborators, particularly, their foot soldiers who they are exposing to political radicalization and extremism to, henceforth, jettison their ongoing premeditated attempts to create tension within the national space with intention of derailing the 29th May 2023 Presidential inauguration ceremony”.
Any such persons, regardless of their political affiliations who continuously engage in acts that are inimical to our nations democratic and security interests should not be in doubt on the firm determination of the Nigeria Police under my watch to closely collaborate with the law enforcement family and the intelligence community to defend our democracy, keep the internal security order stable and optimally deploy our common unique assets towards guaranteeing the successful conduct of the Presidential inauguration ceremony, the Police Chief further stated.
