Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Victor Olaiya, has
invited leaders of the August 1-10, 2024, nationwide hunger protests in the
state.
A statement by the spokesperson of the state police command,
DSP Ejire Adeyemi Toun, in Ilorin, also cautioned against holding protests
outside the court-restricted Metropolitan square in Ilorin.
The statement read, “The Kwara State Police Command wishes
to inform the public about the ongoing protest.
“It is evident that the protests in states like Niger,
Borno, Kano, and Yobe have been hijacked, resulting in loss of lives and
properties. Citizens wishing to exercise their franchise must comply with the
recent court ruling in the state.
“We urge all groups to follow the court ruling, which
stipulates that protests must take place at the Metropolitan Square along
Asa-Dam Road. The Post Office is not an approved location for such gatherings.
“We also request that protest leaders meet with the
Commissioner of Police to strategize on security measures and ensure the safety
of all participants.”
