The Nigeria Police have reacted and warned the protesters attacking commercial banks over Naira redesign policy to desist otherwise such persons will be arrested and treated as armed robbers.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that as was disclosed by FPRO, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Friday, 17th February, 2023, as he enjoined protesters to be peaceful in their demonstration.
The Police authorities were reacting to protests that greeted the Naira redesign policy, which has made it difficult for many to have access to their money in banks.
Adejobi stated that the policy did not affect only the people on the streets, as it also affected the officers, bankers and everyone in other institutions.
He maintained that attacking financial institutions will lead to shutting of banks, and the more the banks close shop, the more it becomes difficult for people to get cash for transaction.
The Police spokesman then called for calm while warning that anyone found or arrested for attacking financial institutions will be tried as an armed robber in the appropriate Court of Law.
Adejobi added that those who have been arrested so far would soon be charged to Court for armed robbery. He hinted that the Police are always ready to act and treat anyone found in the act of attacking any financial institution without recourse to human rights.
