The Rivers
state government has banned all forms of #EndSARS protest in the state.
In a statement released this night, the state Commissioner for Information, Paulinus Nsirim, said since the Inspector General of Police has dissolved all SARS formations across the
country, the state government sees no reason why any #EmdSARS protest should hold in the state.Nsirim noted
that violators will be arrested and brought to book.
Read the
statement below
The Rivers
State Government hereby wish to inform the general public that all forms of
protests have been banned throughout the State.
Therefore,
all proposed protests under #EndSARS Campaign are hereby prohibited.
Government
took this decision because the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, had
already scrapped the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.
Therefore,
there is no need for any form of protest against a Unit of the Police Force
that no longer exists.
Parents and
Guardians are therefore advised to ensure that their children or wards do not
violate this order.
Law
enforcement agencies are also directed to ensure that the ban is enforced and
that violators are brought to book.
Paulinus
Nsirim
Commissioner
for Information and Communications
