President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to ensure that there will be no repeat of the #EndSARS protests in the country, culminating in looting and destruction of lives and properties.
The Minister of Police Affairs, Mohammad Dingyiadi,
disclosed this to journalists on Tuesday after the President presided over the
National Security Council (NSC) meeting at the State House.
“Mr. President assures Nigerians that he will do whatever it
takes to ensure that a repeat of the #EndSARS protest does not occur in Nigeria
again,” Dingyadi said.
“Mr. President assured that all stakeholders will be
involved in the process of maintaining peace in the country, particularly the
youth, community leaders, traditional rulers, politicians, public servants,
religious leaders, etc.
“The Federal Government will continue to maintain its
democratic, humane and just postures in handling security matters in the
country.
“What we are saying is that government will continue to
dialogue, listen and carry all stakeholders along in ensuring that there is no
repeat of what happened that led to the destruction of both public and private
properties”.
Speaking further, Dingyadi noted that the security council
highlighted with dismay, the increased cases of banditry and kidnapping
especially in the northwest and north-central parts of the country.
Consequently, he said the council resolved to better equip the police with modern-day technology to handle the menace.
