More proof abeg........

CONTRARY to the reports being circulated that the
Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Solomon Arase has
banned pre-tertiary institutions of learning from
conducting morning devotions, the police authorities
have said they only alerted schools in terrorist-
infested states to be cautious.

A statement from the Force Public
Relations Officer (FPRO) Assistant
Commissioner of Police (ACP) Olabisi
Kolawole said the warning has become
imperative so as to warn the authorities
of primary and secondary schools in
these states not to expose their students
to avoidable danger.

The IGP therefore “wishes to inform the
general public that the Force has not
issued any order banning assembly
devotion in primary and secondary
schools anywhere in Nigeria.

It is “against the backdrop of current
security challenges in the country, that
the Police only issued advisory notice
directed predominantly to the States
where there are insurgency, enjoining
them to apply caution in the said
assembly so that such congregations do
not present soft target for insurgents”.

While duly recognising the fundamental
right of the citizen to freedom of
worship,”the Police High Command
states that the Nigeria Police Force did
not stop anybody from taking part in
prayer sessions organised by schools,
churches and mosques, describing the
congregation as the constitutional and
democratic rights of Nigerians.

Arase enjoined the public to see the
present position of the Force as a
necessary sacrifice for the security,
safety and peace our schools need, as
security is a collective responsibility.
He reassured all Nigerians of the Police’s
determination to “strengthening and
enhancing the safety and security of all
residents of Nigeria while counting on
Nigerians to continue to support and
work in synergy with the Nigeria Police
Force toward the achievement of its
constitutional mandate”.
