Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Publicity, Garba Shehu
‌

The Presidency has said those who allowed the recent #EndSARS protests to degenerate into the destruction of lives and properties in the country must account for their actions.

Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), made this known on Sunday while featuring on Channels Television’s programme, Sunday Politics.


The PUNCH had reported that the Central Bank of Nigeria froze the accounts of 20 #EndSARS champions while another promoter of the movement, Modupe Odele, was prevented from travelling last week and had her passport seized by the Nigeria Immigration Service.

When asked whether his principal was aware of the development, Shehu said the buck stops at the table of the President, noting that the protesters must face the law.

He said, “This country has only one president and has only one constitution. President Muhammadu Buhari is responsible for his government. The buck stops on his table.


“We are a country governed by law. There is a constitution —under section 33— that clearly defines the rights of citizens to freely protest in a peaceful way but where a peaceful protest turns into riot, violence and looting, there is a law and order duty to be performed.

“Everyone witnessed the massive looting of public and private properties particularly in Lagos, Calabar, Plateau, Taraba and some other states, even the FCT.


“Now, the laws of the country must be allowed to decide, to rule on wrongdoing on the part of anybody.

“I am not particular about any celebrity or promoter but this country has been harmed enormously and people should be prepared to account for what they did.”

He added that some politicians who promoted the #EndSARS demonstrations including those of the Peoples Democratic Party should “publicly denounce” the attendant destruction caused by the protest.

Interesting

A government that romanced BH terrorists & bandit is fighting peaceful people demanding for good governance? Common! Useless tyrannical government with stupid people.

Until the government explain it role and the rationale of using thugs, miscreants, hooligans and the now confirmed "hoodlums in soldier uniforms" to assault peaceful protesters as seen in Abuja & Lagos, then they should expect more.

They can stifle opposition to oppressive governance and expect no resistance.Even Babangida, Abacha were never able to stifle dissenting voices in the time past.

Be quick about it. Don't just stop at the small fries who were merely following trends. The accounts of the likes of Falz and DJ witch who promoted fake news are still untouched which suggests that they were merely supporting the movement online while safeguarding themselves by making no financial contributions.

Can they answer this questions
Why did you send thugs and soldiers to remove camera's and attack peaceful protesters?
People got angry and retaliated for the lost of life's what did they expect?

I no dey rate am - Garbage Shehu

PMB is no longer in charge...what a pity!!!

How about those who participated in the fuel subsidy protest before 2015 elections? Are they also pardoned?

So what will the promoters of violent hoodlums face? A certain man was spotted severely driving and coordinating armed thugs to disrupt and attack protesters in Abuja and not one single security agency raised a finger or voice

They will ask the High Court Judge that question? Nigeria is a Country Of Laws, they are going to prison.

Shewu will bring down the government of Buhari watch, let them start well finish it for them. Hope they understand that we Sowore's wife is watching and has some influences in the senate. The vice president elect would have been briefed with their actions. They will all be facing sanctions watch.

Insensitive government . How many of you looters have faced the law before now or what do we enjoy in this country aside suffering and smiling.

I detest this regime with their mediocrity.

Fire is burning and government of calamity is still putting more fuel and firewood. You all think because your children live in abroad and they are safe. Therefore, people's lives don't matter to you here in Nigeria. You will all be consumed by your evil plans against the citizens.

I don't understand... What crime did they commit?

Boko Haram and Fulani promoters why haven't they faced the law? It's been ten years and still the funders of Boko Haram haven't been captured but Endsars promoters were arrested in less than a week? Who are we deceiving in this Animal kingdom

They should explain that to the Judge, & who told you they haven’t been apprehending those Criminal elements sponsoring terrorism, that is America’s job, they monitor worldwide banking.

Only lies and wailing in and out, while scammerrushdie made good of the crumbs he acquired from the government some of them got off with nothing, and are plaguing nairaland with their unfortunate tears.

5 years after the great locust of our time was chased out of power, tears and prayer for destruction are the only contribution you see some taboos offer on Nairaland.

No, you should face the law. You made it violent with armed thugs and army shooting. When will you people go to ICC? Where are our international lawyers sef?

They will face the law? The government will then face the wrath of the people. This government will never cow the youths of the country no matter how hard they try.

If you know any of their promoters you can actually visit any DSS office close to you to make the report.

Just so you know. Few of bokoharam sponsors were apprehended in UAE and I think they've been sentenced yesterday.

So protesting for one's rights to be respected is now a crime in Nigeria. what a warped reasoning

When you start using your rights to infringe on others rights,then your acclaimed rights seizes to exist.

You are undoubtedly stupid and foolish. Why hasn't America apprehended Boko Haram then? Monumentao disgrace. Olosho

Nice one.
I'm with Federal Government on this. NNAMDI KANU and those IPOB hoodloms he used to cause unrest, destruction and looting of Government and private properties must be prosecuted.
