Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun stated on Thursday night that the Nigeria Police Force acted professionally during the nationwide protests that began on August 1, 2024.

Nigerians took to the streets across the country to express their grievances over the severe economic hardship.

Egbetokun made this claim despite reports of gunshots and teargas allegedly fired at protesters during the demonstrations.

In a press conference, the IGP said, “Despite our suspicions, we showed good faith through professional conduct by providing security at strategic locations, all aimed at ensuring peaceful conduct during the protest as the promoters pledged.

“Our men deployed nationwide went out with a clear brief to ensure that no one is unnecessarily harassed or intimidated. In places where there were court orders, we gave instructions for observance of the same.

“In spite of the refusal of the protesters, for instance in FCT, to adhere to a court order requesting that the protest in Abuja should be at the National Stadium, they trooped into the streets, and yet the police provided security for them. At no point did we breach their fundamental rights even as they breached the court order.”

The protests continue today.
