The Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC), has commended the inspector-general of police (IGP), the Police management team, and the commissioner of police, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), for the professional and constitutional manner in which they handled the protest for the release of Nnamdi Kanu on Monday.
In a statement signed by the national chairman, PCRC, Ibrahim Olaniyan, the national leadership of PCRC noted that the swift and measured response of the Police in ensuring law and order during the protest reflected the renewed professionalism, restraint, and respect for human rights under the current Police administration.
Olaniyan further commended the prompt prosecution of those arrested within 24 hours, in accordance with constitutional provisions, describing it as a clear demonstration of the Force’s commitment to due process and the rule of law.
The PCRC also commended members of the eastern community for their maturity, restraint, and understanding that the resolution of the Nnamdi Kanu issue can only be achieved through lawful, political, or judicial means—not by force or confrontation.
The statement reaffirmed the PCRC’s continuous support for the Nigeria Police Force in promoting peace, security, and community partnership across the country, while calling on citizens to always pursue their grievances through constitutional and peaceful channels.
