The Federal Government through National Economic Council (NEC), has warned Nigerians against public protest, one year after the #EndSARS protests that rocked Nigeria, Newspremises reports.

Rumors making the rounds have it that some citizens would mark one year of the protests against police brutality and corruption with more protests.

However, in a statement issued by Laolu Akande, the spokesperson to Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Nigerians have been urged “to consider other lawful alternative means of engagement.”

According to Akande, “this is because of the current security situation across the country and the possibility of such protests being hijacked by armed hoodlums and other opportunistic criminals to cause mayhem at such protest events and venues. Council therefore urges the organisers to reconsider their plan.”

He however, noted that action has been taken by federal and state governments, to address the grievances that led to the 2020 protests.

These include:

"the disbandment of SARS; broad police reforms; establishment of judicial s of inquiries to investigate allegations of human rights violations by of the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies; recommendations of s which are already at various stages of implementation, including the setup of Victims Compensation Funds from which several victims have received payments of sums awarded to them by the s; and prosecution of police personnel indicted by the s."

Akande further explines that, each state, in collaboration with the Federal Government, shall establish modalities for the settlement of all monetary compensations awarded by the s.

“Already, as resolved by NEC, a number of States have set up Victims Compensation Funds, from which several victims have already received payments of sums awarded to them by the s.

NEC has also “urged the Nigeria Police Force to take disciplinary action on the affected officers in line with the provisions of the Police Act 2020.”

THANK YOU

Will you kill them the way you killed others at Lekki toll gate as usual

Damnnn niggar. I

soright

Whether they like it or not that protest is gonna hold

Why and what is their fear?
Peaceful protest should be welcome

He is making a lot of sense. Nigeria is not a normal country. The security threat against the country is massive. Those who follow blindly to engage in such protests only espose themselves to the grievious dangers that is hunting for each Nigerian.

Hmmm

Nigeria will frustrate

NEC deserves the full standing ovation of the middle finger for this useless opinion

Nonsense and nec

See your head..
Na Online you go protest your own..abii?

Okay

Are they scared? They should go and chop shiiiiieeet

it's gonna be protest in memory of those people who were killed at Lekki toll gate, and not about police brutality

To the best of my knowledge drastic steps has been taken by the Government, Patriotic Nigerians should take things slowly

-

In other words Endsars protest has been technically defeated!

End SARS ,abi end bad leaders..
End Bad Leaders should be the theme now,not SARS na.. If its end bad government, papa and mama sef go .. If its still end SARS,e no go sweet..

So what should we do, we should fry akara

So in summary they are beating a child and warning the same child not to cry because they are ready to shoot the child.

Young people (as young as 18, 21,25) were killed around Nigeria by police and army bullets throughout the duration of the EndSARS demonstrations.

They are ready to kill protesters again.

What can I say?

Wait for it

If that protest hold. Mark it down, it will be the rebirth of a NEW Nigeria.. I urge Deji Adeyanju and sowore to do whatever it takes to make that anniversary remembrance hold. I can assure you Buhari's government is scared. ..

We must rally

Good one year, those idiots are still investigating. What are you investigating? If it were to be the child of a General or tier one politician, 3 days the investigation is done.
Foolish people everywhere.

They have evil Agenda... Just be careful to those who are willing to protest

Go and tell that to BUHARI...

Still About Last Year October 20th.
Here was our very first response to this so called MASSACRE thingy from the very first day.
Sometimes in October 2020

Here comes one of the few OBJECTIVE POST ON THIS THREAD

Even if it was just one (1) youth that was killed
It is a very BIG issue for some of us with brains and souls,
If it was 7 youths as it was reported by the genuine protesters at Lekki, it is still so sad,
and if it was 78 or 100 youths as it was circulated all over social media,
We deserve to know the whole truth as a nation.
So we can know how to table our matter to the international community.
We want to know what is true and what are lies.
We dont want to accept any lies from the Army and at the same time, We don't need some people (celebrities et al) fueling fake news on this heated country now.
We are not fighting against Nigeria,
We are fighting for Nigeria.
#WeStandWithTheTruth
Some Nigerians are waiting for what is the truth.
#WeStandWithAPeacefulProtest.
#AGoodCountryIsAllNigerianYouthsWant
Again,
We are not fighting against Nigeria,
We are fighting for Nigeria.


Conscience is an open wound. Only the truth can heal it.

The Good people of Nigeria deserve to know the WHOLE TRUTH of this Lekki issue now.
Heads must roll!

Up till now, many Good Nigerian citizens with an open mind don't know what to believe.........still!

But throughout the aftermath judiciary set up, no families came out to say their children or family were killed, 78 alleged bodies for that matter!
May God help Nigeria and Nigerians.
