Who will punish the negligence of government and its agents

Everything was peaceful and going smoothly till this wicked government came up with that evil plan of sponsoring thugs to disrupt the protest.

As far as I'm concern it is the actions and inactions of the government, its agents and sympathizers that caused the lost of life's and properties during and after the protest.

Who will punish the government for failure to protect the lives of Nigerians

Yenefer:
Maximum punishment. The constitution most not be violated

Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has condemned the destructions that followed the peaceful End SARS protest in October.

The official said the perpetrators must face the law.

“If we don’t punish those who caused these damages, others may do it again,” he said on Sunday.

Amaechi spoke during an assessment of the damages at the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) headquarters in Lagos, NAN reports.

The former Rivers State Governor said it was legitimate to protest but illegal to destroy private and government properties.

“This is completely disastrous. It is not enough to vent your anger about police brutality in this manner. How does damaging government property concern the police? Whether you like it or not, this will be refurbished or rebuilt with government funds.

”That means the funds also belong to those who have set this place ablaze. Those who commit crime should be held liable and appropriate punishment meted out on them. I was a student from 1983 to 1987, that was a period when the Nigerian students were always out on the streets, we never burnt down anything.

"The rights to protest is defined in the laws of Nigeria, it doesn’t include burning peoples houses or places, it doesn’t include blocking major highways or minor roads. The law said you should protest by the side of the road, it didn’t say you should protest and block the roads because there are other road users.

“I may not like police brutality and I didn’t protest. It is legitimate to protest but it is illegitimate to take other people’s rights. The rights to protest is defined in the constitution but it does not include burning people’s houses and government properties”, Amaechi stressed.

The Lagos State Government has said that its Chief Coroner’s invitation to the public to come for the identification of the corpses of missing persons between October 19 and 27, 2020, has to do with victims of cultists and hoodlums’ killings, and not with the Lekki tollgate incident.
The state government noted that there is no connection between the announcement and the Lekki tollgate, where some protesters were feared killed or missing.

The state Chief Coroner, Justice M. A. Dada, had on Wednesday, called for the identification of missing persons between October 19 and 27, 2020 – the same period when youths embarked on a nationwide #EndSARS protest which led to violence, arson and killings.

The state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Gbenga Omotoso, said in an interview with our correspondent on Friday, that the identification of bodies was meant for victims of cultists and hoodlums’ killings, and not of the Lekki tollgate which had attracted both local and global outrage.

He said, “On the announcement by the Chief Coroner that people should come and identify their dead relatives is a routine matter; it has nothing to do with what happened in Lekki. There is a law that you cannot bury anybody without a coroner’s inquest. You agree that even before Lekki, people were already being killed. Cultists were on the rampage in Ikorodu, Surulere, on Ikorodu Road and so many other places in Lagos. Also, policemen were being killed.

“There was anarchy. So the bodies that were picked up at the scene of all of these killings and fighting are the ones that the coroner is asking Lagos residents to come and identify. If it is Lekki that they say the government is trying to cover up, there is no way the government would now go out to newspapers to ask people to come and look at dead bodies.”
