Ibrahim Babangida (2003) 12 WRN 1 where the Supreme Court held that the power to set a tribunal of Inquiry is vested in state governors and that the power of the President to institute a commission of enquiry under the Tribunal of Enquiry Act is limited to the federal capital territory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsequently, while the state governors set up the judicial commissions for each of the states the panel instituted by the President was limited to the federal capital territory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn view of the foregoing, governors should take control of the security situation in all states of the federation. In particular, state governors should henceforth exercise the exclusive powers conferred on them to manage public meetings, rallies and processions in line with the provisions of the Public Order Act and the relevant judicial authorities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Inspector-General of police and commissioners of police should stop usurping the powers of state governors to infringe on the fundamental right of the Nigerian people to protest peacefully against public policies considered inimical to their interests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cState attorneys-general are enjoined to ensure that police officers are prosecuted whenever they refuse to provide adequate security for participants in public meetings, rallies and processions in contravention of section 83 (4) of the Police Establishment Act, 2020 which provides as follows:<\/p>\n<div>\u201cWhere a person or organization notifies the police of his or its intention to hold a public meeting, rally or procession on a public highway or such meetings in a place where the public has access to, the police officer responsible for the area where the meeting rally or procession will take place shall mobilize personnel to provide security cover for the meeting, rally or the procession.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Femi Falana has stated that state governors NOT the police are in charge of rallies.
