Nigerian Police has stated its reasons why the office of the Peace Corps of Nigeria in Jabi, Abuja remains shut. Police said that the office remain under lock and key because the order proscribing the existence and operations of the organisation is still in force.
The Force made the clarification in a statement on Tuesday following some uproar created by some media reports. It should be noted that a Federal High Court recently ruled that the office be opened.
But the police said they have appealed the judgment and filed a stay of execution. They said they took the steps “in the interest of National Security and Public Safety”.
According to The statement by Jimoh Moshood, It is incumbent on the Nigeria Police Force to inform the public that on the 28th February, 2017, the personnel of the Nigeria Police Force in a Joint Operation with the personnel of the Military and the Department of State Service embarked on an operation to halt and rid the country of illegal/unlawful security outfits constituting National Security Threats, Threats to Protection of Lives and Properties of Nigerians across the country and those illegal security outfits found engaging in obtaining money and properties under false pretence, Advance Fee Fraud and wide spread extortion of huge sums of money from thousands of unwary Youths and their parents/Guardians throughout the country under the guise of recruitment.
