The Nigeria Police Force claimed it has begun tracking politicians who are hell-bent on delaying President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s inauguration on Monday, May 29.
Usman Alkali Baba, the Inspector-General of Police, made the announcement during a news conference at Force Headquarters in Abuja on Monday, May 15.
The operation, according to Baba, is being carried out in coordination with other security organizations, notably intelligence personnel.
According to the Daily Trust, the police chief indicated that the development became necessary in order to control subversive forces who had been attempting to undermine the country’s peaceful atmosphere.
“Following the successful conclusion of the 2023 General elections, it has been observed that some major political actors that the outcome did not favour, have been issuing public threats that are directed at instigating actions to frustrate the Presidential inauguration ceremony on 29th May, 2023.
“The Nigeria Police and the national intelligence community have been closely monitoring the activities of these political elites as well as other elements who have formed themselves into unpatriotic brands whose only fantasy, in recent times, is to subvert our national security interests,”
the police chief said.
