Protest: The military will step in if breaches continue — CDS to looters

Christopher Musa, chief of defence staff, CDS has revealed the military will intervene if the ongoing nationwide #EndbadGovernance protests persist violently in the country.

Musa spoke in reaction to the vandalisation and looting of properties that characterised the protest in many parts of the country on Thursday, 1st of August, 2024.

In Kano, protesters looted the newly built Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) Industrial Park, setting parts of it ablaze. The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) centre was scheduled for commissioning next week. Some youths were seen making away with desktop computers, chairs, keyboards, and other appliances from the centre.

The protest, which has also turned ugly in Yobe, Lagos, Borno, Gombe, and Abuja, has left at least 14 people reported d3ad. Organisers have labelled the nationwide demonstrations as ’10 Days of Rage’ and #EndBadGovernance.

In a press conference on Friday, Musa urged protesters to recognise that destruction is counterproductive and would only set the nation aback.

“We should realise that these destructions and monies have to be used—monies for development will have to be used to develop these things so we can move forward, and so instead of doing that, we should come together to make sure nothing is destroyed. The statement has already been passed to the local, state, and federal governments.”

Musa commended the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) for its attempt to establish order but added that the military would be forced to step in if the violence persists.

“We want to warn those that are recalcitrant, those that don’t want to listen, that we will not fold our hands and see our country destroyed,” the CDS said. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
