Edo: We’ll provide Protesters with Sachet Water, Sweet – Police

The Edo State Police Command has assured protesters of their support and protection in carrying out peaceful demonstrations in the state.

In a briefing with journalists, State Commissioner of Police, CP Funsho Adegboye, emphasized the citizens’ right to protest.

“We had a meeting with some leaders of the protest, we have agreed that it must be peaceful, we are going to protect them but there will be no blocking of roads or violence”

He also mentioned that residents who choose not to participate in the protest can continue with their daily activities without interference.

“Police will protect and support them with sachet water and sweet. We have agreed that they will only occupy the Kings square which is the venue of the protest,” he said.

The CP warned trouble makers to stay clear from protest, saying they would be dealt with decisively.
