The Police recalled, “October 2020 violent #EndSARS crisis that led to massive destruction of public and private facilities. Some Police personnel paid the supreme price.

“This is in addition to many Police Stations, barracks, officers’ personal properties that were set ablaze during this period.

“The Command is still going through those harrowing experiences. The Command will not be cajoled by the so-called organizers that the rally will be peaceful.
