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.
