The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has denied attacking the October 1,protesters in Abuja, stating that it “only took proactive measures to prevent looting”.
Earlier today, reports said police officers on Tuesday fired teargas at protesters during the “Fearless In October” protest over bad governance in Abuja.
However, in a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, FCT police command, SP Josephine Adeh in Abuja on Tuesday, said it was necessary to address the allegation following reports making the rounds that policemen attacked protesters at Utako Market in Abuja earlier Tuesday during the protest.
“The command wishes to categorically debunk the narrative, tagging it completely false and misleading.
