Keyamo Compares Violent Protesters to Armed Robbers
The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has compared the looting and destruction during the ongoing hunger protests to granting licenses to armed robbers. Keyamo made this statement in response to the nationwide demonstrations, which have turned violent in several areas. In Kano, protesters looted a yet-to-be-commissioned Nigeria Communication Commission facility and later set it ablaze. According to Bosun Tijani, the protesters, including some teenagers, stole new furniture and desktops before torching the building.
In Kaduna, a police officer was killed during an attack on state government buildings by protesters. The violence also reached the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, where protesters set the Nyanya Police Station on fire. Keyamo noted that some protesters were already inclined to commit crimes, using the protests as an opportunity to act. He emphasized that while peaceful protests are legitimate, it is crucial to avoid initiating protests without the ability to control their course.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
