The Cross River State Police Command has warned against another #ENDSARS protest in the State.

This comes on the heels of reports stating that some individuals and groups are planning to commence a violent protest, a replica of the #ENDSARS demonstrations that escalated and led to loss of lives and destruction of properties.

Recall that in October, Nigerians took to social media and the streets to express their displeasure and grievances against the harassment, extortion, and extra judicial killings from operatives of SARS.

However, the peaceful demonstrations were hijacked by hoodlums who unleashed violence on defenceless citizens, looting and destroying properties in the process.

In a statement issued on Monday, December 7, by the State’s Police PRO, DSP Irene Ugbo, the command said no form of gathering, procession or protest would be tolerated.
