FCT NSCDC Cautions #FreeNnamdiKanuNow Protesters Against Vandalism
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has warned participants in the planned #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest against vandalising public or private property.
The protest, reportedly being organised by Sahara Reporters publisher Omoyele Sowore to demand the release of the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, is scheduled to hold on Monday.
FCT NSCDC Commandant, Olusola Odumosu, in a statement issued on Sunday by the Command’s spokesperson, Monica Ojobi, urged all citizens—whether for or against the rally—to respect court orders and maintain peace.
“The Corps will not tolerate any act of vandalism, destruction, or theft of public or private facilities under the guise of protest,” Odumosu stated.
He disclosed that the Corps had deployed personnel across the territory to secure Critical National Assets and Infrastructure (CNAI) and ensure the safety of residents before, during, and after the protest.
Odumosu added that the officers, drawn from specialised units, area commands, and divisions, had been properly briefed on their assignments and on the need for restraint.
He further cautioned security operatives against shooting, harassing, or intimidating peaceful demonstrators, but warned that any attempt by criminals or vandals to hijack the protest would be firmly resisted.
