The Police Command in Yobe has reported that Boko Haram insurgents are planning to infiltrate the upcoming nationwide protest in the state. The command’s spokesperson, DSP Dungus Abdulkarim, made this announcement in a statement on Saturday in Yobe.

He stated that intelligence received by the command indicated that foreign mercenaries had been engaged to destroy lives and property during the protest. Abdulkarim, therefore, urged individuals planning to participate in the protest to exercise caution.

“As Yobe State recovers from insurgency, the Commissioner of Police, CP Garba Ahmed, acknowledges citizens’ constitutional rights to peaceful assembly. While we alert citizens to sinister motives, even peaceful protests at this time may be ill-timed.

“Recent insurgency activities in Gujba LGA, including an improvised explosive device (IED) explosion, have raised concerns. We are unprepared to face additional security challenges,” he said.

Abdulkarim warned that criminals attempting to use the protest to destabilize the state would face the full force of the law.

For a hitch-free protest, he outlined that protesters are required to provide information on proposed protest routes and assembly points. They should also state the expected duration of the protest, names and contact details of leaders and organizers, and measures to prevent hijacking by criminal elements.

“By providing this information, we can deploy adequate personnel and resources, designate specific routes and areas, establish clear communication channels, and minimize the risk of violence, property damage, or criminal activity.

“We encourage protesters to cooperate with the police, obey the law, and adhere to global best practices for peaceful assembly. We are committed to working with all to promote peaceful expression and maintain public order,” Abdulkarim added.
