The Nigeria Police Force has warned that it will not fold its hands and watch group and individuals make provocative utterances capable of heating up the polity concerning the redesign naira policy of the Federal Government.
It has, therefore, called on well-meaning Nigerians to restrain from making divisive utterances that can cause breach of the peace, hence, trigger crisis in the country.
A statement by the Force Spokesman, Olumuyiwa Adejobi (CSP) noted that the call is imperative as, according to him, the Police perceive the reactions and utterances of certain groups and individuals as an attempt to heat up the polity and spontaneously instigate the populace against the government and its policies for their peculiar interests and gains.
“The NPF, therefore, charges the citizenry of Nigeria to remain calm and embrace peace as the Federal Government has assured that it is taking the bull by the horn, assiduously to address the scarcity of naira and fuel and restore normalcy in all sectors.
“Similarly, the Nigerian populace is hereby urged to desist from any act of violence, hooliganism, and vandalism that may jeopardize the ongoing electoral process, which is significant and critical in the transitional advancement of democracy in Nigeria.
“Meanwhile, the NPF will like to assure the general public that it is working in concert with Defence, security, and intelligence agencies to provide a peaceful environment for all citizens to conduct their socio-economic activities,” the statement noted.
