By Adamu Abubakar Isa

President Bola Tinubu has issued a stern warning to individuals and groups taking undue advantage of the ongoing protests to further their own interests. In his nationwide address, he cautioned that the law will catch up with those perpetuating violence and destruction.

“Under the circumstances, I hereby enjoin protesters and the organisers to suspend any further protest and create room for dialogue, which I have always acceded to at the slightest opportunity… To those who have taken undue advantage of this situation to threaten any section of this country, be warned: The law will catch up with you,” President Tinubu said.

He also emphasized that there is no place for ethnic bigotry or threats in the Nigeria his administration seeks to build.

Tinubu further reiterated his commitment to protecting the lives and property of all citizens, while also ensuring that those who engage in violence and destruction are held accountable.
