#EndBadGovernmentInNigeria PROTEST ONLY IN IJEBU-ODE – OGUN NSCDC COMMANDANT
The Ogun State Commandant, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, David Ojelabi, on Thursday, said that there have been no reports of any protest in the state.
He added only about 20 protesters who were said to have engaged in a peaceful protest around Ibadan Road.
Ojelabi said this when addressing journalists at the MKO Abiola International, the court-designated venue for the protesters in Abeokuta.
The commandant said, “We have gone around the Abeokuta metropolis and everywhere is calm, even shops that were not opened before are now opening for business.
“The report we also received from the other two senatorial districts, that is Ogun West and Ogun East is that everywhere is peaceful except in Ijebu-Ode where about 20 were said to be protesting peacefully.
“So we urge people to go about their normal businesses as the security agencies are on the ground to ensure that everyone is secured and safe.”
Similarly, the Commissioner for Police, Abiodun Alamutu, also said that every part of the state is peaceful.
Alamutu, however, said that the protesters are free to have their peaceful protest in designated places across the state.
He said, “Everywhere is calm and you can see the presence of the security agencies on the ground, we are all working hand-in-hand to provide security for all, so, there’s no cause for alarm, everything is in order.”
