Christopher Musa, chief of defence staff (CDS), says the military will intervene if the ongoing nationwide #EndbadGovernance protests persist violently.
Musa spoke in reaction to the vandalisation and looting of properties that characterised the protest in many parts of the country on Thursday.
In a press conference on Friday, Musa urged protesters to recognise that destruction is counterproductive and would only set the nation aback.
Musa commended the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) for its attempt to establish order but added that the military would be forced to step in if the violence persists.
“We want to warn those that are recalcitrant, those that don’t want to listen, that we will not fold our hands and see our country destroyed,” the CDS said.
