“The information revealed that the intention of the protesters is to shut down the state in an action which may likely result in violence

It is on this note that the police command issued the warning to residents of the state to be extra-careful as whoever intends to conduct any protest or procession should do so in accordance with the provisions of the law.”

Funny thing is APC once took PDP to court challenging police power to stop protests

County ruled that police have no right to approve or disaprove a protest but police are mandated to protest protesters

This was the court ruling ... Now same APC is trying to strangulate any attempt at protest

I'm sure PDP wish they reformed the electoral system better, they wish now they made judiciary independent, they wish now they removed inec from the presidency

APC would in opposition again one day and would wish they did the right thing too

Maintain your sanity and allow insane party steal all mandates for their jihadi clique.

Nonsense, Tinubu should be careful with Kano, crises is brewing

Kano may boil if NNPP is removed by the supreme Court removes Abba Yusuf

Remove your head from the clouds

Una dey fear

What is democracy without the constitution ?,
Democracy is government of the majority right ?, what will you now call jungle justice or mob action ?, it’s democracy too cos the majority has taken action at that particular point in time , and at that point in time , any single minority voice that tries to stop the majority will be lynched by the majority .

After voting APC in centre they want to pull out and leave the vast majority of states under the demonic broom. Never.

You can't take the people's mandate through the court and expect them not to protest.
