Mr Obasanjo advised President Muhammadu Buhari to "restrain the military and other security agencies from using brute force as a way of ending the crisis."

The former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has condemned the shooting of protesters demanding police reform and advised President Muhammadu Buhari to “restrain the military and other security agencies from using brute force as a way of ending the crisis.”

Mr Obasanjo said this Wednesday afternoon, a day after soldiers shot at unarmed protesters in Lekki, Lagos.

The Lekki incident has been condemned by many Nigerians including Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu who has pledged an investigation into the shooting. The exact casualty from the incident is yet to be confirmed although Mr Sanwo-Olu said no one died while over 12 people were injured including two in intensive care.

Apart from the Lagos shootings, protesters have also been shot in states like Ondo, Oyo and Delta.

Mr Obasanjo’s advice to President Buhari joins others by many Nigerians and international leaders including former American Vice President Joe Biden and ex-U.S. Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton.

Advice no dey enter him ear �

Mr Obasanjo be sincere to yourself if it's your tenure that this nonsense is happening would you tolerate it

Did he not even do worse .
No come pretend like you love the youths
You are all evils

The Ebora himself has spoken. Apart from Jonathan I have heard or seen any of the past presidents talk about this destruction that is looming. I hope this out stubborn president listens!!!

SUPPORTED.

Silence is no longer golden

Odi comes to mind

Tells you how mentally impoverished buhari is. He going to leave that seat in shame. This is going beyond what he expected. He thought if he threatened youths with gun, they'll back down. He's forgotten that there is huge power and defence in United and massive population. He's not seen anything. This is just the beginning.

will be listen

Ear infection blocks out the voices of the 5% and amplifies that of the remaining '97%'.

Birds of a feather. Even though your advices are correct, but he who is fighting for fairness and justice must come with a clean hand. The Odii killings of defenseless Nigerians is still in our memories. It's us against u lots, dont take side with us baba.

....this nonsense is happening...the mindset of typical bigots....its okay for soldiers and policemen to go about shooting at people protesting against police brutality.

Obasanjo slayed people in Odii the same way Buhari is doing now, but he is way far than Buhari in leadership, but anything any politician have committed in Nigeria, they must answer for it.
