ABUJA: Federal Capital Territory FCT Minister, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike said security agencies in the territory have identified a senator as one of those sponsoring the anti-government protest.


Wike disclosed this shortly after an emergency FCT Security Council meeting Thursday night in Abuja.

According to him, it was discovered that the senator called some security operatives to accompany a truckload of food for the protesters.

He said in due time, relevant agencies would invite the senator for questioning.

The minister who admitted that protests are allowed in a democracy, said the protesters owe it a duty to democracy to respect the court order restricting their activities to the MKO Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.

He said; “We had said before now that we will continue to brief the press as we monitor the protest of people who say they are protesting against bad governance and hunger in the country..

“We believe that this is a democratic government and so we must act according to the rule of law. We also believe that this protesting it is their entitlement so that government can address the issues raised. Obeying the rule of law is obeying court orders.

“We are doing quite a lot to change the lives of the people.

“You are aware of the court order yesterday. The court did not stop protests, it only restricted them to the National Stadium.

“We had come out to say clearly that one of the reasons we appealed against the protest was that we believe some miscreants will hijack the process and cause destruction of property within the FCT. See what happened in some of the states today. Now, look at the loss fo lives. If such a thing happens in the FCT, what do you think people would say? Here we have the international community carrying out their businesses.

“You saw what happened today where some people tried to move into the Eagle Square. Miscreants may not have succeeded in what they wanted to do but we have intelligence that they are coming out tomorrow to destroy property that will lead to loss of lives. The security agencies will not allow that. Every protester, please, go to the MKO Abiola stadium and do your protest. That is what the court said.

“Now we also have intelligence that a senator had to invite some security agencies to lead some of them to go and provide food for the protesters. That is sponsorship. A senator providing food for protesters. At the appropriate time security agencies will invite the senator and find out how you will be sponsoring this kind of thing against the government of the day”, he added

Thuggery, hoodlums and agberos are the only legacies left behind by a certain notorious narcotics drug trafficker engaging in criminal state capture

FalseProphet1

What do you see?

Lumarstone:
Where's Tinubu son? Like father like son.

He is taking refuge in the confines of the presidential villa.

He might be stoned to death if he dares step foot on the streets of Lagos on a day like this.

haslaw:
When will Nigerians learn the antics of the SE.

This was how Azikiwe positioned his people for a bloody ethnic cleansing they called a coup in January 1966. Same Azikiwe sneaked out of the country just before the coup leaving his friends from other regions to be massacred


The most treacherous people are SE

The south east doesn't have to engage in any protests. 

They already protested by not voting for Tinubu because they knew he had absolutely nothing to offer Nigerians and warned that Tinubu would turn out to be a catastrophe, and today they are vindicated.

Reno Omokri is a lunatic

OgbeniOja1:

Tinubu is a catastrophe

Protesters shouted down the Minister of State for Youths Development, Ayodele Olawande, who arrived at the Eagles Square in Abuja to address the protesters.

As the minister tried to address the crowd, the protesters continued to chant “hunger dey”, preventing the minister from speaking.

However, after quelling the crowd, the minister said he wasn’t attempting to shut down the protest, describing himself as a comrade who has attended between a hundred and five hundred protests.

“I’m not here to fight you, I’m not here to ask you not to protest, it is your right. Like I said, I’ve been to over 100-500 protests,” he said.

The minister also assured that he would address the police regarding the shooting of canisters against the protesters.

Meanwhile, protesters have insisted they would not join the others at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, noting that a few days ago, a parallel protest had been held without interference by the police.

It's visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that Tinubu is the worst president Nigeria has ever had
