PREMIUM TIMES can now confirm that the army shut down the shopping plaza without consulting the police and Abuja administration. It’s essential to acknowledge that news production incurs expenses, and we take pride in never placing our stories behind a prohibitive paywall.“With all due respect, you know very well that Police are not involved why all this. Channel all your complaints to the military pls,” Ms Adeh responded in a WhatsApp message to a PREMIUM TIMES enquiry.

“So the question in my mind is this, is there a military junta in place? No. So why is the military encroaching on the power of the police, you have just started here that the police are not aware of any of such. “There is due process in place. Even if there is a problem, go straight to the court to do the required thing, to ask for the required warrants or order to seal off maybe a portion of the market for the purpose of investigation. This is the police and not the military, so this is arbitrary.”

“That place is an economy. Nigerians are going through unbearable times at this time in history. The military feels that somebody has offended some of them and then you went to shut down the market. It is wrong morally, it is wrong legally, it is unlawful, it is unconstitutional and should not be allowed in a democratic setting.”
