October 1: Shun protest, Police commissioner urges Ekiti youths
by Adenle Ahmed Abiola · The Eagle OnlineThe Ekiti State Commissioner of Police, Adeniran Akinwale, has urged youth in the state to refrain from participating in the planned protest slated for October 1st by some individuals to prevent it from being hijacked by miscreants.
Akinwale, in a chat with The PUNCH in Ado Ekiti on Sunday, advised the youths to embrace peace and dialogue, noting that illegality should not be used to pursue legality.
The commissioner said, “We are enjoining the people to ensure they don’t go out to protest so that hoodlums will not hijack it which will not be to anyone’s benefit.
“We are definitely going to reach out at the same time and ensure peace and tranquillity in Ekiti State.
“We have been doing it, we have been having discussions with the important stakeholders and we will continue to reach out to those people that are relevant and to also talk to the youth as usual to ensure they don’t take law into their hands.
