Bauchi Police Urges Take It Back Movement To Shelve Nationwide Protest
Bauchi police urges Take It Back Movement to shelve nationwide protest. The police asked the protest organisers to submit a detailed plan outlining the parameters of the demonstration, including date, time, and location, for proper analysis and arrangements.
The police in Bauchi have expressed concerns over the planned nationwide Take It Back Movement protest, urging organisers to reconsider and postpone the event.
The protest, scheduled for Monday, coincides with National Police Day, which is intended to recognise the resilience and dedication of officers.
CSP Ahmed Wakil, spokesperson for the command, said this to journalists on Sunday in Bauchi while affirming citizens’ constitutional rights to peaceful assembly.
The command has questioned the timing and motivation behind staging protests on a day meant to celebrate the nation’s security personnel.
The police described the move as “potentially unpatriotic,” warning that it could tarnish the image of the police and the country.
The police said the protest organisers failed to notify any security agency formally and did not request the necessary security coverage.
“As a result, the command strongly advised the group to reconsider and postpone the demonstration, citing increasing security concerns and the need to prioritise public safety,” Mr Wakil said.
According to him, police commissioner Sani-Omolori Aliyu has directed all Area Commanders, Tactical Units, and divisional police officers to intensify visibility patrols across identified flashpoints in Bauchi.
The command also reaffirmed its commitment to executing its mandate per the law while respecting human rights and encouraged the organizers and individuals contemplating participation to engage in dialogue with appropriate governmental institutions to express their concerns.

”The organisers are also urged to submit a detailed plan outlining the parameters of the peaceful protest, including date, time, and location, for proper analysis and arrangements.
”Failure to do so may result in accountability for any adverse situations that could disrupt the peaceful environment currently enjoyed by citizens of Bauchi state.
”The command urges parents and guardians, along with all citizens and residents of Bauchi, to refrain from involving the youth in activities that could destabilise the peaceful atmosphere of the state. The police will rigorously exercise its statutory responsibilities to uphold the law and preserve peace and order,” he said.
The command also urged residents to go about their lawful activities and report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station, the Police Rescue Me App, or by contacting the emergency numbers 08151849417 and 09053872273.

Kogi Police Restore calm After Reprisal Attack in Community
The Kogi State Police Command says it has restored calm following recent reprisal killings in Abugi and adjoining communities in the state.

A statement issued on Sunday by the Command’s spokesperson, ASP Salisu Afusat, stated that the Command had taken decisive steps to prevent further escalation and restore peace in the affected area.
Recall that no fewer than five persons were killed in what was later identified as a reprisal attack following the killing of a herder in the community on Thursday.
“The Area Command, Lokoja, in conjunction with relevant security and community stakeholders, conducted critical engagements with traditional rulers, community leaders and other stakeholders, focusing on reconciliation, restoration of peaceful coexistence and addressing the underlying causes of the conflict,” Afusat noted.
She said the Command had also commenced a full-scale investigation into the incident through the State Criminal Investigation Department, with efforts underway to identify, trace and apprehend all persons found to have participated in or contributed to the killings.
She said that following the interventions and stakeholder engagements, normalcy had been restored to Abugi and its environs, with security monitoring continuing to ensure that the peace was sustained.
“The restoration of calm, however, does not in any way halt the ongoing investigation, as the Command remains committed to ensuring that those responsible for the loss of lives are identified and brought to justice,” she added.
Police
The Commissioner of Police reiterated that the Kogi State Police Command remained fully committed to protecting the lives and property of residents across the state.
He urged members of the public to remain law-abiding and promptly report suspicious movements or activities to the police and other security agencies.
