Amidst the controversies of the EndSars protest that saw the death of innocent protesters, the Federal Government of Nigeria has revealed that it will treat fresh protest as an attempted coup.
According to a report by Daily Times, any fresh demonstration against perceived police brutality or any other issue would be treated as high treason aimed at unconstitutional regime change.
This position by the government follows a notice of a fresh protest against alleged federal government’s harassment of promoters of the #EndSARS protests held in October.
The protest scheduled for Saturday, December 5 has been trending on social media for weeks.
To curb it, the federal government is said to be unprepared to tolerate any further challenge to its authority.
“The federal government thinks that there is more than meets the eye. What is the fresh protest about when the government has since accepted all their demands and has put in place the machinery for implementing the demands?”
