Defence Headquarters Warns That The Planned Nationwide Protest.

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ), says the planned nationwide protest
has the potential of degenerating into anarchy, and reign of terror based
on the situational analysis by the military high command.

Director, Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba
made this statement in Thursday while briefing newsmen on the
operations of the armed forces in Abuja.

Buba said the military had thoroughly examined several factors such as
whether or not the planned protest was motivated by opposition
politics, independent parties, sovereign interference or terrorist groups
amongst others.

He noted that citizens have a constitutional right to peaceful protest but
do not have a right to mobilize for anarchy in order to unleash terror.
Buba said there were signs of status related violence such that persons
with things as basic as a smart phone and car were targets, not leaving
out those that own houses and shops.

according to him, Other targets includes; places of worship, businesses,
markets, persons of other ethnic groups and members of opposing
political party among others.
