In the face of the current economic challenges in Nigeria, the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has issued a warning against making divisive comments that could exacerbate the situation. According to a statement from the Force’s spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the NPF is calling on both individuals and groups to refrain from making statements that could incite violence and trigger a crisis in the country.
He said the caution became important due to the utterances of some persons or groups attempting in an attempt to instigate the people against the government.
“The NPF, therefore, charges the citizenry of Nigeria to remain calm and embrace peace as the Federal Government has assured that it is taking the bull by the horn, assiduously to address the scarcity of naira and fuel and restore normalcy in all sectors,” the statement further read.
The police also warned Nigerians against “violence, hooliganism, and vandalism that may jeopardize the ongoing electoral process” while assuring of working to “provide a peaceful environment for all citizens to conduct their socio-economic activities”.
