The FCT police command has debunked claims that the Nyanya Police division was set ablaze by protesters on August 1.
In a statement released, the spokesperson of the command, SP Josephine Adeh said contrary to reports, it was the police container compartment at Nyanya checkpoint that was set ablaze.
Adeh gave the names of the suspects arrested as Mathias Jude 29 ‘m’ of Nyanya Area D, Mohammad Ahmed 23, Abba Jibril 18 and Mohammad Haruna 18.
She added that the commissioner of police FCT, CP Benneth C. Igweh, while acknowledging the right of residents to protest, frowns at destruction of public or police infrastructure, as any violent protester arrested for destroying public property will be caused to face the wrath of the law.“
