As part of
measures to further protect lives and properties of citizens, the Plateau State
Government has banned public processions in all parts of the state until
further notice.
By this
notice, members of the public are therefore advised to adhere strictly to the
ban.
A statement
by State Commissioner for Information and Communication Yakubu Dati says this
is to prevent miscreants and unpatriotic elements from hijacking any protest to
further inflict pain and hardship on innocent citizens.
Dati said
the ban will enable Government take stock of the security situation in the
state.
He expressed
the government's appreciation of the democratic right of citizens to protest
but said the administration also has a duty to ensure nothing negatively affects
them.
