The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has directed all Commissioners of Police across the country and in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to provide maximum security for the planned peaceful protest by retired police officers.
Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, disclosed this in a statement.
He also cautioned against the spread of misinformation surrounding the protests scheduled to be held nationwide on Monday.
Adejobi, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, said that some narratives were being deliberately twisted to discredit the Federal Government and undermine the current leadership of the Nigeria Police Force.
According to him, successive IGPs had backed the agitation, but progress had been hindered by statutory limitations, inter-agency complications, and fiscal constraints.
