#SarsMustGoNow: Wike Issues Ban On All Protests In Rivers State, See Why—-In a bid to curtail the #EndSARS protest going on in the country, the Rivers state government has issued a ban on End SARS protests in the state, threatening to arrest protesters.
This information was released In a statement by the state Commissioner for Information, Paulinus Nsirim. She said the state government sees no reason why any #protest should hold in the state since the Inspector General of Police has dissolved all SARS formations across the country.
Nsirim also emphasized that violators will be arrested and brought to book.
Her statement reads:
“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.”
