May 29: Police Raise Alarm Over Plan To Disrupt Inauguration In Ogun State

With few days left to the handing over of power in Ogun State, the state police command has raised alarm over the alleged plan by some people to disrupt the inauguration of the incoming government.

The Police called on the people of Ogun State to step aside from any form of rallies and procession against Chieftaincy and land matters for the main time.

The police noted that they have information that “some unscrupulous elements are scheming to foment trouble across the state with a view to disrupting the inauguration of the new administration scheduled for 29th May 2019.”

The state police command revealed this in a statement released through its PRO, Abimbola Oyeyemi on Tuesday in Abeokuta.

The PPRO stated that PPRO, Rallies, processions, and assemblies in public places are being carried out by enemies of peace supposedly to resolve chieftaincy and land-related matters rather than approaching the Court to seek justice.

“All of these are aimed at heating up the State before the inauguration.”

“In view of this, the command has put in place a robust security arrangement aimed at checkmating such trouble makers and other criminally-minded persons, including miscreants and disgruntled elements.”

“The special units of the command namely SARS, PMF, STS, anti-kidnapping as well as DPOs and Area Commanders have been placed on red alert with specific instruction to closely monitor these misguided elements and respond swiftly to any distress calls and disturbance of public peace.”

Oyeyemi stated that the commissioner of police in the state has ordered twenty-four-hour surveillance patrols across the state.
