The Ondo State Commissioner of Police, Bolaji Salami says the Command will deal decisively with any person or group who may want a replay of the ENDSARS debacle during the June 12 protest.
The police boss warned that if there is any group proposing any protest, it should be done within the ambit of our law.
Mr. Salami said residents of Ondo state should see the 2021-June 12 Democracy Day as a promotion of awareness on issues relating to democratic principles, and never a day intended to focus on issues or practicalities that will deepen our fear of the unknown.
He added that the police under his watch would remain committed to its regular and consistent community policing.
He said, “Inspite of the increase in the volume of fake news in circulation over the 2021-June 12, Democracy Day, Ondo State Police Command under his supervision will remain committed to its regular and consistent Community policing style in Ondo State.
“If there is any group proposing any protest, it should be done within the ambit of our law, as our command will not welcome any act of criminality during and after the celebration.
