In Nigeria, the Police have issued a strong warning against planned demonstrations near the Presidential Villa and other high-security zones in Abuja. The alert comes ahead of a scheduled protest today, demanding the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Authorities said the Force would strictly enforce a court order that prohibits public protests around sensitive government installations, including Aso Rock and the National Assembly complex.

The warning follows rising tension over the #FreeNnamdiKanu movement, which has drawn widespread attention both locally and internationally. Police have urged organizers to avoid confrontation and seek lawful means to express their grievances.

Security forces have been placed on high alert across the capital to prevent any breach of peace as the demonstration unfolds.
