The Ogun State Police Command has issued a stern warning to
students across the state and their parents against the disturbance of peace.
It was contained in a statement issued by the command that “an intelligence report
indicated that some misguided students are planning to stage a statewide
protest in Ogun State in solidarity with the suspended Students’ Union Government
President of Federal Polytechnic Ilaro who was recently arrested for cultism”.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi
who signed the statement revealed that “the aim of the protest is to disrupt
the semester examination of the institution scheduled to start on Monday 17th
of February 2020 and also to disturb the peace of the state in general”.
Police authorities in the state have advised parents and
guardians to warn their children and wards not to involve themselves in any
activity capable of disrupting the peace being enjoyed by the people of Ogun State.
“As an organization saddled with the constitutional
responsibility to protect life and property, the command will not fold its arms
and watch some disgruntled elements make life difficult for law abiding
citizens of the state.
Therefore, anybody or group that makes any attempt to throw
the state into unnecessary chaos will be made to feel the full weight of the
law.
To this end, all the command's tactical squads have been
activated and deployed across the state to nip in the bud any act of violence
capable of jeopardizing the peaceful atmosphere of the state.
The commissioner of police CP Kenneth Ebrimson has also
deployed a detachment of anti-riot policemen around the Federal Polytechnic,
Ilaro to ensure that the law abiding students of the institution go about their
academic activities without any form of harassment or intimidation”, Oyeyemi stated.
