The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has debunked the report that the Nyanya Police Divisional Headquarters has been burnt.
SP Josephine Adeh, the Spokesperson for the Command, stated this in a statement on Thursday.
Adeh said: “Contrary to the news making rounds about Nyanya division being burnt down by violent protesters, the FCT police command wishes to state that it wasn’t the police division that was burnt.
“Rather the police container compartment at Nyanya checkpoint that was set ablaze.
“The attempt to vandalize the Tipper Garage Police Post by four (4) suspects was foiled and suspects, Mathias Jude 29 of Nyanya Area D, Mohammad Ahmed 23, Abba Jibril 18 and Mohammad Haruna 18, have been arrested.
“The commissioner of police FCT, CP Benneth Igweh while acknowledging the right of residents to protest, frowns at destruction of public or police infrastructure.
“As any violent protester arrested for destroying public property will be caused to face the wrath of the law.”
Thefrontrank reports that some Nigerians have taken to the streets across states and the Federal Capital Territory protesting against bad governance and the current economic hardship occasioned by government policies.
