The Nigeria Police have released a statement
explaining why they sent police officers to the
National Assembly this morning, preventing
Tambuwal and other lawmakers from gaining
access into the Assembly ground. Find the
statement below…
Following an intelligence report of a likely
invasion of the House of Representatives by
hoodlums and thugs, the Nigeria Police Force
promptly deployed its personnel to the premises
to prevent a breakdown of law and order.
Consequently, the Police condoned the area and
began screening of all members and visitors
alike.
In the course of this lawful exercise, Alh. Aminu
Tambuwal CFR, arrived the venue with a motley
crowd, who broke the cordon, assaulted the
Police and evaded due process and the Police had
the duty to restore order and normalcy, using
lawful means
The IGP seizes this medium to warn all political
actors and their followers to respect constituted
authority and due process and to desist from the
use of thugs to pursue their agenda.
The Nigeria Police shall continually apply all
lawful means to prevent a breakdown of law and
order in all segments of the society and shall
apply the full weight of the law on any political
actor who violates the peace and security of the
nation.
