The Federal Government of Nigeria has issued a warning to Nigerians as they plan to protest against the reopening of the Lekki tollgate.
Nigerians have revealed that they will be hitting the streets to protest against the reopening of the toll gate as they feel incidents that happened on October 20 that led to its closure haven’t been properly investigated.
It is from this that the FG has issued a warning. This was contained in a recent submission made by the Federal Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed.
Speaking at a press conference, he said;
”Any further resort to violence in the name of #EndSARS will not be tolerated this time. The security agents are ready for any eventuality. A situation in which six soldiers and 37 policemen were murdered in cold blood by hoodlums will not repeat itself.
The attack, looting and razing of 269 private and public property will not happen again. The killing of 57 civilians will not be re-enacted. No government anywhere will allow a repeat of the kind of destruction, killing and maiming wrought by the hijackers of #EndSARS protests last year.
After all, only one policeman – (plus four others) – was killed in the invasion of the US Capitol in January, yet the FBI has continued to hunt down and prosecute the perpetrators. No life is more important than the other.
‘We therefore strongly warn those who are planning to re-occupy Lekki Toll Gate on Saturday to desist. We know that many of those who have been loudest on social media in advertising the plan to reconvene in Lagos on Saturday are not even in Nigeria.
They are elsewhere around the world fanning the embers of violence and inciting gullible people back home. No one should fall for their antics.”
