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.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
