Ibrahim Idris,The Inspector-General of Police, has cautioned the
BringBackOurGirls group on its campaign, saying “enough is enough.”
The IGP noted that the group’s protest in recent time posed threat to
public peace and order. He said procession is usually organized to draw
attention to a particular issue, adding that the group’s aim has already
been achieved, hence they should relax and allow government concentrate
and work.
Idris spoke when the National President of the National Council of Women
Societies (NCWS), Gloria Shoda and other members of the Council
executive visited him in Abuja.
He said: “The police management is aware of the agitation and the plight
of parents of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls and other civil groups.
As parents ourselves, we sympathize with them in these trying moments.
“Evidently, the government has invested huge resources in ensuring that
the girls are rescued and re-united with their various families.
“However, the activities of the BringBackOurGirls group in Abuja, the
nation’s capital recently, are becoming worrisome and threat to public
peace and order.
“#BringBackOurGirls protagonists must understand that in the exercise of
their rights, they must not trample on other peoples’ rights through
over-dramatization of emotions, self-serving propaganda and disrespect
of public (office) holders.
“The police will not sit on the fence and watch such a scenario unfold.
The rights of law-abiding citizens must be protected within the context
of the law and we believe that enough is enough.”
