The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba has warned anybody trying to foment trouble on May 29 presidential inauguration to stay off.
He said the security operatives would deal decisively with any troublemaker planning to stop the ceremony.
He said,” I want to assure that the force will do everything possible alongside other security operatives to defend democracy.
“Following the successful conclusion of the 2023 General elections, it has been observed that some major political actors that the outcome did not favour, have been issuing public threats that are directed at instigating actions to frustrate the Presidential inauguration ceremony on 29th May, 2023.
“The Nigeria Police and the national intelligence community have been closely monitoring the activities of these political elites as well as other elements who have formed themselves into unpatriotic brands whose only fantasy, in recent times, is to subvert our national security interests.
“In so doing, they seem to be bent on deploying extra-judicial and undemocratic means to truncate our democratic heritage in advancement of their narrow personal political considerations”.
