The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, says a policeman was killed by hoodlums who infiltrated the #EndBadGovernance nationwide protests on Thursday, August 1.

While speaking at a press conference in Abuja, the police boss said some police officers were also injured by hoodlums who disguised as protesters. He said some police stations in the country were razed by rampaging rioters.

According to Egbetokun, events in major cities today were “mass uprising and looting and not protests”.

The leaders of the protests were not around to lead the rallies despite the initial warnings of the police, he claimed, adding that hoodlums took over the demonstrations.

“Police stations have been destroyed. There have been attempts to take over government houses.

In places like FCT, Kaduna, Kano and Gombe, among others, we recorded incidents of unprovoked attacks on our security personnel where one policeman has been reported murdered and others seriously injured.

In light of the current situation, the Nigeria Police Force has placed all units on red alert. Our officers are fully mobilised and prepared to respond swiftly and decisively to public safety and order,” the IGP said.
