President Buhari Promises There Will Be No Repeat of #EndSARS Protests
Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday, promised to ensure that there will be no repeat of the #EndSARS protests in the country, culminating in lootings, killings and destruction of properties.
The Minister of Police Affairs, Mohammad Dingyiadi, made this known to journalists after a meeting after the President presided over the National Security Council (NSC) meeting at the State House, Abuja.
“Mr President assures Nigerians that he will do whatever it takes to ensure that a repeat of the #EndSARS protest does not occur in Nigeria again,” Dingyadi said.
“Mr President assured that all stakeholders will be involved in the process of maintaining peace in the country, particularly the youth, community leaders, traditional rulers, politicians, public servants, religious leaders, etc.
“The Federal Government will continue to maintain its democratic, humane and just postures in handling security matters in the country.
“What we are saying is that government will continue to dialogue, listen and carry all stakeholders along in ensuring that there is no repeat of what happened that led to the destruction of both public and private properties”.
Dingyadi further noted that the security council highlighted with dismay, the increased cases of banditry and kidnapping especially in the northwest and north-central parts of the country.
Consequently, he said the council resolved to better equip the police with modern-day technology to handle the menace.
