Rivers CP Threatens to Arrest Protesters Who Destroy State Property

In a surprising turn of events, the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Disu, has issued a stern warning to protesters participating in the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protest in the state. On Day 7 of the protest, the CP made it clear that anyone caught destroying Rivers State property would face arrest.

The announcement comes amidst growing tensions between protesters and the government, with many citizens demanding an end to what they perceive as poor governance. While the CP’s statement did not specify what constitutes “destroying” state property, it is clear that he intends to take a no-tolerance approach to any form of vandalism or violence during the protests.

In a statement released to the press, CP Disu said, “I want to remind everyone that peaceful protest is a fundamental right, but it must be exercised responsibly. We will not hesitate to arrest anyone who engages in destructive behavior that damages public property.”

The CP’s warning has been met with mixed reactions from the public. Some have praised his firm stance, arguing that it is necessary to maintain law and order during the protests. Others, however, have criticized the threat of arrest as an attempt to silence dissenting voices and suppress the right to peaceful protest.

As the #EndBadGovernance protest continues to unfold in Rivers State, it remains to be seen how the authorities will respond to the growing demands for change. One thing is for sure, though: anyone thinking of taking out their frustrations on public property might want to think twice before they end up on the wrong side of the law.
