In preparation for the independence celebration and to ensure effective policing, especially over planned nationwide protests, the Adamawa State Police Command has interfaced with critical stakeholders.
The command said in a statement that the interface, which took place on Monday, was aimed at discouraging the planned protest by “faceless individuals and/or groups” due to the possibility of it resulting in violence.
“It is a well-known fact that chaos can lead to loss of lives and property. Therefore, any violent protest, especially by unidentified persons, is totally unacceptable,” the police said in the statement signed by Public Relations Officer Suleiman Nguroje.
The statement, stressing that the planned protest has the potential to go wrong and be hijacked by miscreants, urged all citizens to go about their lawful business and shun anything that will lead to harming themselves and others in the name of protest.
“The CP assured the faceless planned protesters that his doors are always open for a healthy discussion with the group and called on the people to appropriately follow the laid-down rules regarding every protest in Nigeria,” it said.
It added that the Police Command has drawn a security ring around the state to prevent miscreants from hijacking the protest.

The Atum Humanitarian and Charitable Initiative has pleaded with President Bola Tinubu administration to take proactive action to ameliorate the current hardship in the country.
Honourable Ismaila Yusuf Atus, Executive Chairman of the organization, in a statement on Sunday, noted that the rising cost of fuel has further reduced the purchasing-power of the citizens.
He called for urgent government’s measures to reduce citizens’ suffering, acknowledging that existing initiatives were insufficient.
The organization also urged NGOs, business leaders, and wealthy individuals to unite and support communities in need.
The statement reads: “The hunger is severe, and the rising fuel prices have only added to the hardships. Many people can no longer afford to feed themselves properly.
“I urge those of us with NGOs to unite and support our communities. We also call on the government to take measures to alleviate the suffering in our nation.
“While we acknowledge that the government is doing its best and that many initiatives were in place before this administration took over, we still urge them to work towards reducing the hardships faced by citizens.
“We appeal to other well-off Nigerians to step forward during this critical time; the people need your support now more than ever. It is essential for the wealthy to share their resources and assist those in need.
“Additionally, we call on business leaders and politicians not to hoard their wealth in bank accounts while the populace suffers.
“Given the current challenges in the country, the Atum Humanitarian and Charitable Initiative has decided to assist Nigerians who are struggling with poverty by raising N500 million to help two million people.”
DAILY POST reports that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, recently increased the price of Premium Motor Spirit(petrol) to N1,030 per litre, further worsening the hardship on Nigerians.
