Hours After Apologising To Protesting Citizens, Nigerian Government Vows To Crackdown On Peaceful #EndSARS Demonstrators


Nigerians in many cities across and beyond the country are protesting years of rights violations by the Nigerian Government and failed promises of reform of various institutions.

The Nigerian Government has vowed to crackdown on peaceful #EndSARS protesters calling for an end to police brutality.


Nigerians in many cities across and beyond the country are protesting years of rights violations by the Nigerian Government and failed promises of reform of various institutions.

Reacting to the protests, Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo on Saturday apologised to young people in the country.


Contradicting the Vice President less than 24 hours later on Saturday evening, Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, said the Nigerian Government will take firm steps against the protesters.

He said, “Peaceful protest is an integral part of democracy and that is why the Federal Government in the last 11 days has treated the protesters in a very civilised manner.

“But, if you look at what happened to the governor of Osun State, it has gone completely beyond peaceful protest against excesses and abuse of power by the police.

“There is nowhere in the world where a government will fold its arms and allow the country to descend into anarchy.

“We are no longer dealing with #EndSARS but a volatile situation that can lead to anarchy if the government does not take some very firm steps to protect the lives and livelihood of innocent Nigerians.

“We have nothing against peaceful protest but there are civilised ways of doing so.

“This is by going to a venue where you are not going to disturb other Nigerians because where your own right stops, other persons’ rights begin.”­

This lier has started again

Lai Mohammed na goat

Is orrritee

We will also take firm steps to ensure that elements like you cannot remain in office feeding fat from the common wealth while the average Nigerian youth moves around in despondency.

SARS has been disbanded, any protest regarding SARS again is an illegal one.

From tomorrow, anyone seeing protesting should be arrested and incarcerated

Look at comments from someone who long paraded himself as southerner

It wouldnt be funny if protesters carry weapon...


The result will be the SAME as WHEN A TORNADO MEETS A VOLCANO

This is the better option

Reform the damn police and stop playing hardball. For how long shall interrogations be hidden and human lives be treated as chickens.

We need to allow the FG to act on the demands given to them really. Some governors Have already swung into action after the NEC Meeting where osinbajo gave them some directives. The protest is heroic no doubt but let's give them the room to do our biddings.

thieves hypocrites like u will soon find out that next to God is the people

The determination of the young people to take their destiny into their hands is really rattling these analogue brigade of senile men.No tyrannt have ever succeed against the resolve of a determined people.

This is to tell you that osibanjo is on his own under this government.

I believe the youths and the entire country have made their opinions known to the government, let's wait to see what follows.
I think the youths should hold the protest for now.

What will become of Lai and Adesina after Buhari's presidency?

1 AK47 bullet is equal 3-4 people in a linear sequence. 1 magazine is a sea of corpses.
Oga,if you the lie down for petty armed robbers with gun,na soldiers you no fit crawl for?
Don't pray for war because you HV not seen one. Some of us that have witnessed religious crisis, communal clashes, with banditry, armed robberies and attempted kidnapping will tell u to be cautious of what you are praying for.
Don't pray for civil disobedience because schools,banks, markets, transportation, etc will be inaccessible. Shey na during lockdown, ppl were crying of hunger,that will be a child's play. Because salaries may not be payed. Have sense,abeg.

It is sad this is coming from an educated person like you. This protest as given them wake up call to do our biddings. Demands have been sent to them and it's going to be different this time because our protest and struggle will not go in vein. Showing me previous stuff doesn't cut it. It's different now with the Protest
