Breaking: Military Will Take Action If Protest Escalates – CDS Warns

The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Christopher Musa, on Friday, said the military will intervene if the ongoing nationwide #EndbadGovernance protests persist violently.

Musa spoke in reaction to the vandalisation and looting of properties that characterised the protest in many parts of the country on Thursday.

 

In Kano, protesters looted the newly built Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) Industrial Park, setting parts of it ablaze.

The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) centre was scheduled for commissioning next week.

Let us avoid anything that will bring mayhem within our communities.

“We have seen the level of destruction that has been carried out just yesterday, and so you can imagine if this continues for so long. The armed forces and the entire military security agencies will not stand by and see that to continue.”

The military chief also asked the media to lessen coverage of the protests, saying some protesters are only looking for screen time.
