The Police authorities, which said April 7 is a day earmarked by the Federal Government as the National Police Day to celebrate the resilience and dedication of officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force, noted that the choice of the same day for protests by the group was pregnant with ulterior motives.

A statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Sunday, said while the NPF was not against the exercise of citizens’ right to peaceful assembly and association in Nigeria as enshrined in the Constitution, the Nigeria Police Force was deeply concerned about the motive behind such protest scheduled on the same day the contributions of the Nigeria Police Force to national security is to be celebrated, putting into consideration that such glamorous event would bring together dignitaries from all spheres of life both internationally and within the country, including Foreign Inspectors-General of Police and Diplomats.

“In line with best global practices adopted by nations in celebrating the achievements of its Police institution, the Nigerian Government has taken the bull by the horn by declaring every April 7 as National Police Day. The rationale behind staging a nationwide protest on the same day is however questionable and perceived to be a deliberate attempt and unpatriotic act that is capable of rubbishing and maligning the image of the Nigeria Police and the nation as a whole.

“The Nigeria Police Force hereby advises the organizers to shelve this planned protest as it is ill-timed and mischievous.
