Nigerian security forces are under scrutiny as nationwide protests under the #EndBadGovernance banner unfold, with varying responses from different states. In Plateau, Maj.-Gen. Abdusalam Abubakar emphasized professionalism among troops to ensure peaceful protests and safeguard citizens' rights. Meanwhile, Zamfara State Police pledged adequate security to protect peaceful assemblies, urging citizens to report any suspicious activities. However, reports from the Federal Capital Territory indicate that some police actions, including the use of tear gas, contradict these commitments, raising concerns over the protection of protesters' rights. The Delta State Commissioner of Police noted that while protests remained peaceful, some demonstrators faced teargas for not adhering to designated protest locations. The ongoing situation highlights the critical need for law enforcement to prioritize professionalism and human rights amid rising public trust issues.
