The Niger State Government says all forms of protests and processions have been banned henceforth in the State.
This is contained in a statement issued by Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Ahmed Ibrahim Matane, noting that banning of protests is with immediate effect.
The SSG further revealed that the State Government has also banned all forms of Eid-el Maulud processions, rallies and gatherings on the Streets that will lead to the blocking of roads in the State.
Ahmed Matane enjoined Muslim Clerics to ensure Eid-el Maulud activities are celebrated within their localities.
He revealed that the decision to ban protests and processions is as a result of the security situation in the country occasioned by EndSARS protests.
The SSG said though, Government would continue to respect the right of the people of the State to go about their legitimate activities, it would however not allow any group to abuse the right of the citizens by breaking the law and infringe on other people’s rights in the community and public roads.
