Nigeria police backtrack pledge allow peaceful protests abuja public condemnation

It appears that the Nigeria Police Force has backtracked on its earlier stance to allow peaceful protests in Abuja, amidst public condemnation.

For context, the police had initially announced that it would allow peaceful protests in Abuja, following a series of protests and demonstrations across the country. However, it seems that the police have now changed their stance, sparking widespread criticism and condemnation from the public.

The backtracking has been met with outrage, with many Nigerians taking to social media to express their disappointment and frustration. Some have accused the police of being inconsistent and lacking transparency, while others have called for the police to respect the rights of citizens to peaceful assembly and protest.

The controversy has also sparked concerns about the government's commitment to human rights and the rule of law. Many have argued that the police's about-face is a clear indication of the government's willingness to suppress dissenting voices and stifle freedom of expression.

It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold, but one thing is clear: the public is watching closely and demanding accountability from the authorities.
