get the relevant permit from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) police
command before embarking on their protest tagged “LIBERATION”, schedule to

protesters would have themselves to blame.

the available channels of seeking redress through the appropriate organidations
and establishments of ex-servicemen and Armed Forces of Nigeria

permit from the Nigerian Police before embarking on such an exercise.

peace. Objectively, the Defence Headquarters hereby advice the group of
military pensioners involved in this plan, to desist and remain law abiding.
