16 September 2014

Ilorin — The Kwara State Police Command yesterday warned that it would not tolerate any act of thuggery, which according to it, is the same as terrorism. The Commissioner of Police in the state, Salihu Garba, said the police would deal decisively with anyone involved in hooliganism. He also warned against vandalisation of posters and billboards by opposing political parties, saying such could lead to a breach of the peace.

"The last thing we would tolerate in Kwara State Police Command is an act of thuggery which I regard as the same as terrorism. We have zero tolerance for thuggery", he said.
