 Hoodlums plan to hijack EndSARS protest, NANS warns

By Modupe Shodeinde

The National Association of Nigerian Students has warned EndSARS protesters about the intention of hoodlums to hijack the protest, thereby throwing the country into chaos.

He warned that if the protesters are not cautious, the protest could be turned into full blown crisis.

Comrade Adeyemi Azeez, the National Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the association, said that this was already the case in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.

He warned that, though the entire Police Force should be reformed, caution should be taken to not plunge the country into total breakdown.

“Information at our disposal revealed that some hoodlums are planning to hijack the nationwide protest in a bid to cause chaos and throw the country into crisis.

“We are also aware that some internet fraudsters in a bid to continue perpetrating their criminal acts are mobilising hoodlums to protest against the activities of SARS who have been clamping down on them.

“We want to call the attention of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu to the plans of these hoodlums and their devilish plans.

“It is important that the IGP had ordered the ban of SARS and other Tactical Units on Nigerian roads. The IGP ordered that men of the FSARS should no longer conduct checks neither should mount roadblocks but the people behind these protests are not satisfied with this.” Azeez said

He stated that the police should in no way hesitate to arrest and prosecute anyone causing violence or disrupting the peace of the country in the name of protest.

The student body also declared it was not associated with the revolution now Movement led by the presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore. It stated that the movement was unnecessary.

The PR personnel said it was insane for anyone to call for action against the Federal Government.

“Exercising rights to freedom of speech, association and assembly should be with decorum and Nigerian Students will not be part of any unlawful gathering in the name of revolution.

“The “RevolutionNowMovement” call for mass action across the country against the Federal Government of Nigeria is uncalled for.

“At a time when Nigeria is battling with a myriad of security challenges, no sane or right-thinking individual will be instigating the populace against the Government.

The association urged Nigerian students and youths, to remain law-abiding citizens and not allow themselves be used in instigating chaos in the country.
