The governor said there was no need to protest following the dislodging of SARS by the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar Adamu.
The directive of the governor was contained in a Government Special Announcement by the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Paulinus Nsirim, on Monday night.
Hear him: “The Rivers State Government hereby wish to inform the general public that all forms of protests have been banned throughout the State.
“Therefore, all proposed protests under #EndSARS Campaign are hereby prohibited.
“Government took this decision because the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, had already scrapped the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.
“Therefore, there is no need for any form of protest against a Unit of the Police Force that no longer exists.
“Parents and Guardians are therefore advised to ensure that their children or wards do not violate this order.
“Law enforcement agencies are also directed to ensure that the ban is enforced and that violators are brought to book”, he added.
