Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, has threatened that the Nigerian Military will step in and quell the ongoing hunger protests if security breaches continue.
Musa stated this on Friday at a News conference in Abuja.
“We are supporting the Police all through. We are just on standby. The Police is doing a good job; they are handling the situation for now.
“Unless it breaches beyond what they can handle, then the military will step in.
“The military is on standby and we are watching day and night,” Musa said.
Recall that Nigerians took to the streets on Thursday, August 1, protesting against hunger and high cost of living in the country.
However, there have been reports of cases of looting and destruction of properties in some states.
