Police lift ban on rallies, processions in Kwara
The Police Command in Kwara has lifted the ban imposed on rallies and processions across the state.
In a statement by the command spokesman, Okasanmi Ajayi, on Saturday in Ilorin, the police urged residents to support the security agencies to deepen the peace and harmony the state is known for.
He said the cooperation and strict compliance with the order of temporary ban on rallies and processions in the state has helped in preventing criminal elements from taking advantage of the fuel and naira note swap challenges.
He added that necessary security arrangements have been perfected across the state to forestall any security breach, before, during and after the general elections.
The police spokesman assured that the command would continue to protect lives and property of the residents of the state at all times.
