BREAKING: Police Use Tear Gas On Women Demonstrators, Demanding Expulsion Of Bayelsa CP

But the women were dispersed with a teargas following their refusal to leave the facility if their demands were not met.


Some women who stormed the Yenagoa, Bayelsa, command headquarters demanding the removal of Commissioner of Police Tolani Alausa have been dispersed by police officers.

For the sake of neutrality, the female protestors demanded on Friday that Alausa be removed before to the off-cycle governorship election on Saturday.

The women, who were all clad in black, requested that the CP be removed in order to guarantee a peaceful election from President Bola Tinubu and Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun.

But the women were dispersed with a teargas following their refusal to leave the facility if their demands were not met.

A few minutes later, another set of protesters moved to the command headquarters to register their support for the CP.

The women had staged the protest at the police command headquarters on Thursday before returning on Friday to continue the protest.

Alausa was deployed to the state on November 7 and assumed duty as the 36th commissioner of police in the state.
