Endbadgovernance protest in Abuja turned wild when the FCT police attempted to disperse the peaceful protesters, The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command's Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, recently made remarks that have generated a lot of conversation about the tactics used by the police during the most recent protests in Abuja. Her remarks correlate with ongoing protests against Nigeria's economic hardship and political problems, as well as increased public outrage and tensions over instances of police brutality.
The FCT Police Command, under the leadership of CP Benneth Igweh, proactively deployed 4,200 officers throughout Abuja before the present protests against poor governance. This was a component of a larger plan to uphold law and order, protect the safety of nonviolent protestors, and keep the demonstrations from being taken over by violent groups. To avert possible violence, precautions included heightened patrols in key areas, the use of explosive ordinance disposal (EOD) specialists, and visibility policing.
Even with these preparations, violence broke out in the Endbadgovernance protests quite soon. As protesters gathered from many places, SP Adeh claims that the demonstrations went out of control, despite earlier orders to confine them to particular spots, such as Moshood Abiola Stadium.
After this dispersion, protesters made another attempt to go to Eagle Square, which resulted in confrontations with the police, who were unable to control the public chaos. Threats to public safety and claims of property destruction further compounded the issue.
SP Adeh opposed the violent progression of events but emphasized the police’s dedication to safeguarding citizens’ rights to peaceful assembly. She indicated that although the police are in favor of legal protests, they will not put people’s lives or property in jeopardy.
A layer of political issues was introduced to the problem by President Bola Tinubu’s words, which suggested that the protests were motivated by outside forces and had the potential to disrupt the nation. Tinubu’s statements brought to light worries about the wider effects of this crisis on the stability of Nigeria.
