Plateau state government on Thursday cautioned citizens of the state against a planned protest on Friday.
A statement signed by Dan Manjang, the Commissioner, Information and Communication, Plateau State and made available to newsmen in Jos reads that it has come to the notice of the State Government that there are rumours of a planned protest tomorrow Friday, 1st October 2021.
The statement further reads that “While Government acknowledges and respects the right of citizens to peaceful protest it, however, reminds the general public that the ban on a public procession by whatever guise and name is still in force.”
Government, therefore, warns the organisers of the purported protest to drop the idea in the interest of peace and security.
Security agents have been placed on red alert to rise up to the challenge by arresting anyone who violates this directive.

The Government also enjoins all law-abiding citizens to go about their normal duties without any fear of molestation or intimidation.
Parents are also advised to rein in their wards and continue to support the Government in working for the restoration of total normalcy to the State.
