…Says Security Report Unfavorable
The Federal Government on Thursday said the proposed protests slated to hold again at the Lekki Tollgate cannot go ahead.
Government said security reports at its disposal indicate a very high possibility of hoodlums taking its advantage to unleash fresh mayhem.
Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed at a press briefing in Abuja said the scars of heavy losses recorded in the last protests are still fresh.
He said, “At this time, the chances that any peaceful protest will be hijacked are very high.
“Based on the intelligence at the disposal of the federal government, some Nigerian activists have linked up with others outside Nigeria, including subversive elements, with a view to destabilising the country.
“We cannot and must not allow this to happen.
“Never again will the federal government allow the kind of violence that was perpetrated across the country under the guise of the EndSars last October.
“Never again will anyone or group be allowed to destroy cities or to kill and maim innocent citizens, including security agents, under any guise,’’ he cautioned.
