President Buhari convenes, chairs security council meetings
In what looks like a response to the calls from Nigerians on the need for the President to address the nation and ensure the protection of lives and properties from arsonists hiding under the #EndSARS protesters to cause wanton destruction in some parts of the country, President Muhamnadu Buhari has convened a security meeting today at the State House, Abuja.
President Buhari who chaired the meeting is expected to address the service chiefs on the need for them to protect and safeguard the lives and properties of Nigerians in all parts of the country from further vandalism.
In Lagos State, the spate of destruction perpetrated by these faceless youths who hid under the guise of calling for the abolition of the Special Anti Robbery Squad SARS (#EndSARS) continue to increase by the day despite the curfew imposed on the residents by the state Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
