Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has faulted former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, for warning security agencies against using lethal force against looters and arsonists.
Onanuga , in a statement on Tuesday, said Atiku , “this evening tweeted the absurd: he warned security agencies against using lethal force against looters and arsonists who masqueraded as protesters.” He said as a statesman, Atiku ’s warning ought to be to the looting mob in Kaduna, Kano, Plateau, and Jigawa states, who hijacked what was advertised by organizers as a peaceful protest.
“They, however, reinforced their constitutional duty, today, when they said they cannot sit idly by and watch hoodlums destroy the country and its democracy. “The Service Chiefs and the officers and men of our security outfits should be commended for their patriotic duty to our country. “As a supporter and enabler of the destructive ‘protests,’ Alhaji Atiku certainly wants the sinister protest to continue in spite of the red signals from the streets,” said Onanuga.
