Saturday, July 19, 2025 – Kaduna State Police Command has issued security alert, banning supporters of the 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi from holding unauthorized political rally for him in the State.
Additionally,
intelligence at the disposal of the Command indicates that certain criminal
elements are planning to infiltrate and hijack the proposed rally, using it as
a platform to cause disruption, incite violence, and disturb the prevailing
public peace in the state.
“The Command further notes that the Parties primaries for
the forthcoming bye election in the state are scheduled by INEC to take place
on the same date as the proposed rally, and the parties has formally notified
the Police of their event, in line with established protocols. It is important
to state that the planned rally is expected to overlap with and disrupt several
areas designated for the conduct of the other political parties primaries,
thereby posing a significant risk of tension, clashes, and breakdown of law.
“In view of these developments, the Command strongly advises
the organisers of the planned Peter Obi rally to suspend any gathering or
procession. If they wish to hold any form of event in honour of their
principal, it is advised that such activities be suspended to ensure public
safety and prevent potential hijack by miscreants.
“The Kaduna State Police Command remains committed to
safeguarding the lives and property of all residents and will not hesitate to
take necessary legal action against any individual or group found violating
this directive.
“The Command appreciates the cooperation of the public in
maintaining peace and order in the state”. The statement said.
