The Plateau State Government has ordered the police to arrest residents protesting over the wanton killings.

Commissioner for Information and Communication, Dan Manjang described the planned protest today, as unnecessary while urging the organizers to drop it for peace and interest of the state.

He also noted that the police have been placed on red alert to rise up to the challenge by arresting anyone who violates this directive.

“It has come to the notice of the Plateau State Government that there are rumours of a planned protest beginning tomorrow Tuesday, September 7, 2021.

“While the government acknowledges and respects the right of citizens to peaceful protest, it however reminds the general public that the ban on public procession by whatever guise and name is still in force particularly at this time that the state is still nursing its wounds from the recent attacks that affected some parts of the state.

“Government therefore warns the organisers of the purported protest to drop the idea in the interest of peace and security. Security agents have been placed on red alert to rise up to the challenge by arresting anyone who violates this directive.
