The command added that there had been an attempt to vandalize the Tipper Garage Police post located in the FCT’s Nyanya neighborhood. This was in contrast to claims that went viral, according to which thugs had destroyed the Nyanya Divisional Police Headquarters. Four suspects were detained after attempting to vandalize the Tipper Garage Police post, according to statement sent by the command through its spokesperson, Josephine Adeh.

“The police container compartment at Nyanya checkpoint was set ablaze, and four suspects, Mathias Jude 29’m’ of Nyanya Area D, Mohammad Ahmed 23, Abba Jibril 18, and Mohammad Haruna 18, who have been arrested, attempted to vandalize the Tipper garage Police post,” the statement read. “Contrary to the news making rounds about Nyanya division being burnt down by violent protesters,” the spokesperson said. Adeh claimed that Benneth Igweh, the Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory, had disapproved of the protesters’ destruction of police and public property.

She continued by saying that anyone found out will suffer the full force of the law. The commissioner of police for the Federal Capital Territory, CP Benneth C. Igweh, acknowledged residents’ freedom to protest, but he disapproved of the destruction of police or public property. He added that anyone caught for violent protests who damaged property would be subject to legal action. Adeh mentioned this.
