The Defence Headquarters (DHQ), has disclosed that it has uncovered a plot by mischief-makers to attack car owners, landlords and smartphone users during the planned ‘EndBadGovernance’ protest slated for next month.
The Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, at a press briefing in Abuja on Thursday, said,
“Already, we have detected some unscrupulous elements bent on hijacking the planned protest to make it violent. Many are therefore following in ignorance.”
He added that, “For instance, there are indications that if you possess a smartphone, if you possess a car, if you possess a shop, if you own a house or even use air conditioning in your house, you have been labelled a target.”
He warned against any form of violence during the planned nationwide demonstration and hinted that the organisers of the planned protest intend to replicate the recent protest-turn-anarchy demonstration in the East African country Kenya.
General Buba said although citizens have a right to ventilate their grievances, the military won’t condone any form of violent gatherings or protests.
