The Nigerian Police have threatened to deal with any group that, according to them, may want to cause any crisis on October 1st.
Apparently referring to those agitating for the Oduduwa Republic, who were said to be planning a protest the Independence Day, the police said their men would be on patrol in all parts of Yorubaland.
The Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of South-West, Mr Leye Oyebade, gave the warning in Ibadan on Wednesday.
According t him, the warning was from the Inspector General of Police, Mr Mohammed Adamu.
He said, “Our parents should not allow their children to be used for any unwarranted procession. We are to guide all key and vulnerable points. This is the independence of our nation and we are not supposed to be fighting.
“Our men will be out on patrol. On no account should anybody come out to disrupt the peace we are enjoying. The police will make sure that nobody is allowed to cause crisis here.
“To those who have been making inflammatory statements, those that we have warned, we have their records. Nobody should do anything to destabilise this nation.”
