… Prepared to Intervene in Looting Crisis Amid Nationwide Protests
Abuja, Nigeria
The Nigerian military announced on Friday that it may step in to control the escalating looting crisis and identify those responsible for sponsoring the ongoing nationwide hunger protests, known as #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria.
During a press conference in Abuja, Chief of Defence Staff General Christopher Musa stated, “We are supporting the police all through. We are just on standby. The police are doing a good job; they are handling the situation for now. Unless it breaches beyond what they can handle, then the military will step in. The military is on standby and we are watching day and night.”
The statement comes amid growing unrest and protests against bad governance across the country. The military’s readiness to support the police underscores the seriousness of the situation as authorities work to maintain order.
