Nigeria’s new inspector general of police, Ibrahim Idris has said that the police will no longer permit
the Bring Back Our Girls movement protests and rallies in the nation’s
capital Abuja. According to him, the purpose of the movement – which is
to raise awareness on the kidnapping of the Chibok schoolgirls – has
been achieved.
Idris disclosed this on Wednesday,
September 7, 2016, saying that the #BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, movement
should stop its public advocacy and marches for the release of the
kidnapped Chibok girls as it poses a threat to public peace.
“Enough is enough,” said Idris, while
hosting the national president of the National Council of Women
Societies (NCWS), Gloria Shoda and other members of the council
executive in Abuja.
Idris said that the “#BringBackOurGirls
protagonists must understand that in the exercise of their rights, they
must not trample on other peoples’ rights through over-dramatization of
emotions, self-serving propaganda and disrespect of public (office)
holders.”
