- Trouble makers to stay clear from protest
The Edo State Police Command has promised to support and protect protesters if they carry out their actions peacefully in the state.
Briefing journalists on Wednesday evening, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Funsho Adegboye, stated that citizens have the right to protest.
“We had a meeting with some leaders of the protest, we have agreed that it must be peaceful, we are going to protect them but there will be no blocking of roads or violence”
Residents who do not want to participate in the protest, he says, will be able to go about their regular business.
“Police will protect and support them with sachet water and sweet. We have agreed that they will only occupy the Kings square which is the venue of the protest,” he said.
The CP warned trouble makers to stay clear from protest, saying they would be dealt with decisively.
