Monday, October 20, 2025 - The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), FCT Command, has cautioned protesters of the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow movement to desist from vandalising Critical National Assets and Infrastructure (CNAI) in the territory.
There are plans by Mr Omoyele Sowore, publisher of Sahara
Reporters, to organise a protest on Monday for the release of Nnamdi Kanu,
leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), but the NSCDC FCT
Commandant, Olusola Odumosu, called on citizens, in support or against the
planned rally, to adhere strictly to the provisions of the court order.
“The corps will not condone any form of destruction, vandalism or
theft of public and private facilities in the name of protest,” he said in a
statement by the Command’s spokesperson, Monica Ojobi, on Sunday.
According to him, the Corps has massively deployed officers and men
to protect all CNAI as well as ensure the protection of residents across the
FCT before, during and after the protest.
“We are prepared as always to ensure there are no incidents of
destruction of properties or threats to infrastructure and the peace in the
territory.
“The deployed officers and men were drawn from specialized units,
including Area Commands and Divisions, and have been properly briefed on the
assignment as well as precautions to adhere to during the rally,” he said.
Odumosu said personnel had been warned not to shoot, harass or
intimidate any law-abiding citizen, but added that criminals and vandals trying
to hijack the situation will not be condoned.
