Usman Baba, the inspector-general of police (IGP), says the
Nigeria Police Force (NPF) will always defend the country’s democracy at all
costs.
Speaking at a news conference on Monday in Abuja, Baba said
the May 29 inauguration at the federal and state levels is sacrosanct.
The IGP said those planning to disrupt the inauguration
ceremonies would be “identified, promptly isolated, and brought to justice”.
Baba said the police and other law enforcement agencies
would not fold their hands and allow political actors to create tension ahead
of the ceremony.
He added that security agencies were ready to keep the
country’s internal security stable during the inauguration and beyond.
“The inauguration ceremonies at all the national and state
levels of government, are critical constitutional requirements for the
sustenance of our political order as a nation,” the IGP said.
“The Nigeria police is duty and legally bound to defend the
nation’s democratic heritage and closely police the constitutional processes.
“Consequently, I
assure the citizens that, our loyalty to our democratic and political order
remains firm and unwavering. We will defend our democracy at all costs.
“We shall undertake this task optimally and manifestly.
Anybody that stands in the way will be identified, promptly isolated, and
brought to justice.”
