Plateau State Government says it has been notified of the rumours of a planned protest beginning Today Tuesday 7th September, 2021.
Statement issued by the Commissioner,
Information and Communication,
Plateau State, Dan Manjang, says While Government acknowledges and respects the right of citizens to peaceful protest, it however reminds the general public that the ban on public procession by whatever guise and name is still in force particularly at this time that the State is still nursing its wounds from the recent attacks that affected some parts of the State.
Government therefore warns the organisers of the purported protest to drop the idea in the interest of peace and security.
Security agents have been placed on red alert to rise up to the challenge by arresting anyone who violates this directive.
The Government also enjoins all law abiding citizens to go about their normal duties without any fear of molestation or intimidation.
Parents are also advised to rein in their wards and continue to support the Government in working for the restoration of total normalcy to the State.
Meanwhile the military information officer of STF, Majoy Ishaku Takwa says they were engaged for a meeting and their leadership of the tricycle operators have distance themselves from the rumor.
