We won’t allow another EndSARS protest in Calabar: Police
The Cross River Police Command has warned those trying to incite a second EndSARS protest to desist or be ready to face the full wrath of the law.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, Irene Ugbo, gave the warning on Friday in Calabar while speaking with journalists.
Ms Ugbo said the police would ensure utmost professionalism on the part of its officers in the discharge of their duties.
She said the command has received several reports pointing towards a protest against the police, warning that the police would not entertain any protest.
“There was a distress call from MCC junction a few days ago and a tactical unit responded immediately.
“Some young men were questioned in the process and the matter was resolved amicably after questioning.
“We want to use this medium to warn those who want to use this avenue as an opportunity to carry out a second EndSARS protest to be cautioned.
“We are alert, anyone caught will face the full wrath of the law. We are also mindful that law abiding citizens have rights and they must be protected; we therefore, implore anyone who feel his rights were violated to approach our office accordingly.
“We will not allow a second EndSARS protest in Calabar or any part of the state, never again,” she added.
