The IGP, Kayode Egbetokun, briefed journalists in Abuja on Friday.
He asked all groups planning to participate in the demonstrations to submit their details to the Commissioners of Police in their respective states.

He pointed out that the authorities have not been able to identify the mercenaries responsible for ongoing violence in various regions.

Bagos underlined the need for transparency and accountability from the police.
He suggested that the public deserves to know the truth about the threats facing the nation.

“Where are the mercenaries that have been killing our people for many years? But because of protest, they have been able to identify mercenaries,” he said.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
