President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria has stated his regime will deal decisively with any act of hooliganism hiding behind peaceful protests.

The retired Army General asserted that though his regime believes in the rights of citizens to embark on peaceful protests, such must be done responsibly.

The President stated this while virtually declaring open the Chief of Army Staff’s Annual Conference 2020 from the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

“Let me also mention the #EndSARS protest which was recently hijacked by hoodlums which resulted in loss of lives and property in many situations across the country.

“I want to reiterate our government’s commitment to the rights of citizens to embark on peaceful protests. However, this must be done responsibly in accordance with the laws of the land.

“I also want to state that any act of hooliganism hiding behind the peaceful protests, will be highly dealt with decisively to ensure the peace and stability of our nation,” he said.

Nigerians will never forget the first round of #ENDSARS protest that held the country spellbound for two weeks.

Recall that the first round of protests witnessed the alleged massacre of peaceful and harmless protesters at the famous Lekki Toll Gate, where scores of young Nigerians were reportedly killed by the army.

While the army, Presidency, and the Lagos State Government have always denied the Tuesday October 20 event, Amnesty International and CNN presented evidences contradicting their denials.
