Kaduna State Government has reminded members of the general public that any move to block the Kaduna-Abuja Road or any routes in order to express dissatisfaction is unacceptable and it’s a prelude to breakdown of law and order.
In a statement by the State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr Samuel Aruwan says any individuals or groups planning to restrict citizens’ movements are advised to desist in the interest of public peace.
The statement explains that, Kaduna State Government is not depriving citizens the right to express discontent, stressing that, public security and safety must always be the foremost consideration.
According to the statement, the danger of barricading a strategic route like the Kaduna-Abuja Road is better appreciated within the context of ongoing security operations covering the route, and other areas of interest.
“Keen attention must also be given to the possibility of certain gatherings degenerating into violence”.
It strongly advises against participating in such processions with a view not to expose lives of others to unnecessary danger.
“Citizens may kindly be reminded that collective security should remain the first and most important consideration at all times. Individuals, unions and other groups are therefore urged to note this advisory for strict compliance”.
