Nigerian Military Threatens Intervention Amid Ongoing Protests
The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, has warned that the Nigerian Military may intervene in the ongoing hunger protests if security breaches persist. Musa made this statement during a press conference in Abuja on Friday.
Nigerians have been protesting since Thursday, August 1, against hunger and the high cost of living. The protests have led to incidents of looting and property destruction in some states.
“We are supporting the Police all through. We are just on standby. The Police is doing a good job; they are handling the situation for now,” Musa stated. “Unless it breaches beyond what they can handle, then the military will step in. The military is on standby and we are watching day and night.”
