NATIONWIDE PROTEST: BAUCHI STATE POLICE COMMAND URGES DIALOGUE AND COLLABORATION WITH PROTEST ORGANIZERS
The Bauchi State Police Command has expressed concern over the planned protests by the āTake It Back Movementā across various states of the Federation, including Bauchi and the Federal Capital Territory, scheduled for Monday, 7th April 2025. The federal government has designated this date as National Police Day, which is intended to recognise the resilience and dedication of officers within the Nigeria Police Force.
While the Command acknowledges the constitutional right to peaceful assembly, it is crucial that such activities do not compromise the safety and security of our state. However, the rationale for holding a nationwide protest on this day raises questions. It is seen as potentially unpatriotic, which could damage the reputation of both the Police and the nation.
Furthermore, the organisers have failed to formally inform any security agency, either in writing or verbally, regarding their intentions or to request security coverage for the planned protest.
In light of these developments, the Police Command strongly advises the organisers to reconsider and postpone this protest, as it is untimely and uncoordinated. Given the increasing security concerns and the need for effective law enforcement measures, all stakeholders must prioritise safety and cooperate with the Nigeria Police Force to ensure the security and peace of all citizens.
Commissioner of Police Bauchi State Command, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu psc(+) mni, has instructed all Area Commanders, Tactical Commanders, and Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) to enhance visibility patrols across potential flashpoints within their jurisdictions. The Command reaffirms its commitment to executing its mandate in accordance with the law while respecting human rights. It encourages the organisers and individuals contemplating participation to engage in dialogue with appropriate governmental institutions to express their concerns. They are also urged to submit a detailed plan outlining the parameters of the peaceful protest, including date, time, and location, for proper analysis and arrangements. Failure to do so may result in accountability for any adverse situations that could disrupt the peaceful environment currently enjoyed by citizens of Bauchi State.
The Command advises parents and guardians, along with all citizens and residents of Bauchi, to refrain from involving the youth in activities that could destabilise the peaceful atmosphere of the State. The Police will rigorously exercise its statutory responsibilities to uphold the law and preserve peace and order.
The Command also urges residents to go about their lawful activities and report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station, the Police Rescue Me App, or by contacting the emergency numbers: 08151849417 and 09053872273.
