Olaolufred:

What of arresting both?
Let us be sincere.

IGBO-SON:
LOL

They could have at least tried to get more than one person to write all those placards!

Sincere 9gerian:
You'r the one that kill reason and lack COMMON SENSE.

The police did not stand and watch like you shamelessly wrote. The police restrained the protesters, making it possible for the convoy of the governors to pass.

I dont have time for further debate with people who are too emotional to look at the FACTS. But just to CONFIRM to you that the convoy of the president was attacked by stone hurling protesters in 2011 in Nasarawa state. Similar incident happened when the president visited Uganda

Pro Anti:

Arresting both would give the Police a semblance of impartiality but won't solve the larger problem. At best, it would make the two of them scape goats while allowing the puppeteers continue in the deceit.

U just echoed my thoughts now......

The colour (just one colour, YELLOW)of the placards is another big question mark y didn't they buy other colours

Tolexander: Thank God there are pictures as evidence.

I hope the same set of people hailing the touts and paid youths to do this won't have any cause to condemn anything done to GEJ and the ProGEJs if anything like this is done to them later.

Freewilly: One of the placards says that Soyinka loves the resources from the Delta and hates the people.

Are we blind

.......

naptu2:

People have died from protests in other parts of the world, so is it ok if people die during protests in Nigeria? Throwing stones and damaging property/injuring people is illegal, period.

Where is this debate about "level of security" coming from? Have I at any point stated that the governors should have presidential security? The fact is that it is the duty of the police to protect all Nigerians and prevent the break down of law and order. It is their duty to arrest people who resort to violence (including throwing stones).

Garri the 1st: Jobless touts!!

Sincere 9gerian:
Both the pro- and anti-Amaechi groups have the right to protest and even throw stones. The police cannot stop people from throwing stones

Willy1willy:
But it was Yoruba/Hausa,Fulani North that killed him

Sincere 9gerian:
What was the police supposed to do? Kill all the protesters? Didn't people protest against removal of fuel subsidy for several days? This is democracy. Both the pro- and anti-Amaechi groups have the right to protest and even throw stones. The much the police can do is restrain the protesters to certain areas, which they did in this instance because the four governors and Amaechi moved to and fro the govt house. The police cannot stop people from throwing stones.

Moreover, governors are not the president that needs maximum security. Even the president with his maximum security was once a victim of stone throwing protesters.
