The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba, says the police will arrest and prosecute anyone trying to disrupt the inauguration of new administration on May 29.

He stated this at a news conference on Monday in Abuja, adding that the May 29 inauguration at the federal and state levels remained sacrosanct.

Baba said the police and other law enforcement agencies would not fold their hands and allow political actors to create tension ahead of the ceremony.

He said the security agencies were ready to keep the country’s internal security stable during the inauguration and beyond.

“The inauguration ceremonies at all the national and state levels of government, are critical constitutional requirements for the sustenance of our political order as a nation,” the IGP said.

“The Nigeria police is duty and legally bound to defend the nation’s democratic heritage and closely police the constitutional processes.

“Consequently, I assure the citizens that our loyalty to our democratic and political order remains firm and unwavering. We will defend our democracy at all costs.

“We shall undertake this task optimally and manifestly. Anybody that stands in the way will be identified, promptly isolated, and brought to justice.”
