The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, revealed on Friday that intelligence has uncovered the involvement of foreign mercenaries in the upcoming nationwide protest.
In a statement to the press in Abuja, Egbetokun advised Nigerians to exercise caution and carefully evaluate any participation in protest activities.
He highlighted that while some groups are calling for violent demonstrations similar to recent events in Kenya, others are advocating for peaceful protests.
However, concerns have been raised about those promoting peaceful protests with hidden violent agendas.
Egbetokun noted Nigeria’s history with violent protests and emphasized that there is no need to look abroad to understand the dangers of uncontrolled demonstrations.
He acknowledged those who have withdrawn from the protests due to the troubling motives behind them and the potential for violence.
The Inspector General also recognized those who have opposed any form of protest at this time, fearing manipulation by forces opposed to the nation. Intelligence confirms these concerns, as there is credible evidence of foreign mercenaries being involved.
Nigerians are urged to exercise extreme caution and reconsider joining any protest group.
