Uzuegbu who stated this through the command’s spokesperson, Daniel Ndukwe, said the warning became important considering available intelligence revealing sinister plans of criminal elements to infiltrate, hijack the planned protest, and unleash mayhem on law-abiding citizens and property in the state.

He urged to remain law-abiding, vigilant, and promptly report to the nearest police station, criminals that may want to hide under the guise of the protest to wreak havoc.
