The Nigeria Defence Headquarters said the proposed nationwide protest was to replicate what happened in Kenya .
The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj Gen Edward Buba while addressing the Journalists on Thursday, said based on intelligence at its disposal, the proposed nationwide protest would be hijacked by some unscrupulous elements.
“The aim of the protest is to show you what is happening in Kenya. And I would add that what is happening in Kenya in terms of the protest, one, is violence. Two, it remains unresolved as we speak now.” He said.
So did you see from that? Based on what has been gathered, there are plans by some unscrupulous elements to hijack this protest and make sure that it turns violent. When it turns violent, I want to tell you what we have seen as it would likely happen. Indeed, we need to count our blessings.
