Following Monday’s violent protest by members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, otherwise known as Shiites, President Muhammmadu Buhari has directed the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mr Mohammed Abubakar Adamu to ensure there is no breakdown of law and order in the country.
The president gave the directive when he received briefing from the police boss at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Speaking to State House correspondents after the meeting, the IGP said the president directed the police to provide security for all Nigerians.
”The President asked us to make sure we provide security for every citizen of this country and not to leave any space that some group of people will create breakdown of law and order. So, the charge by Mr. president is that we must provide security for every Nigerian.
“Specifically, we briefed him on the incessant coming out of this group of people, protesting here and there. We briefed him on the fact that we have been able to curtailed their excesses and to let him understand that everything is under control,” he said.
