After the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, directed his men to be on high alert and ensure strict enforcement of the court order against protests at Aso Rock and its environs, Sowore responded by urging the new FCT police boss not to adopt a heavy-handed approach to the demonstration.
According to him, CP Dantawaye and every other police officer should disobey any order that would violate protesters’ basic rights throughout the demonstration.
He warned that any use of excessive force or unlawful arrests would attract severe repercussions from citizens who are ready to resist police brutality.
