Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), says security agencies have identified a senator who sponsored protests in the nation’s capital.
On Thursday, a youth-led nationwide protest against the rising
cost of living kicked off.
Speaking after a security council meeting in Abuja, Wike
said the unnamed senator provided food for the protesters.
“We also have information that a senator had to invite some
security agencies to lead some of them to go and provide food for the
protesters,” the minister said.
“That is sponsorship. A senator providing food for
protesters.
“At the appropriate time, security agencies will invite the
senator and find out how you will be sponsoring this kind of thing against the
government of the day.”
Wike said there is intelligence suggesting that protesters
want to destroy public property on Friday.
“You saw what happened today where some people tried to move
into Eagle Square,” he said.
“Miscreants may not have succeeded in what they wanted to
do, but we have intelligence that they are coming out tomorrow to destroy
property that will lead to loss of lives.
“The security agencies will not allow that. Every protester,
please, go to the MKO Abiola stadium and do your protest. That is what the
court said.
“See what happened in some of the states today. Now, look at
the loss of lives. If such a thing happens in the FCT, what do you think people
would say? Here we have the international community carrying out their
businesses.”
The protest is expected to continue on Friday.
