The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has claimed that security agencies have identified a senator as one of those sponsoring the protest against the Bola Tinubu-led administration. Wike stated this after an emergency FCT Security Council meeting on Thursday night in Abuja.
According to the former Governor of Rivers State, the senator called some security operatives to accompany a truckload of food for the protesters. He said in due time, relevant agencies would invite the senator for questioning. The minister, who admitted that protests are allowed in a democracy, said the protesters owe it a duty to democracy to respect the court order restricting their activities to the MKO Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.
Miscreants may not have succeeded in what they wanted to do but we have intelligence that they are coming out tomorrow to destroy property that will lead to loss of lives. The security agencies will not allow that. Every protester, please, go to the MKO Abiola stadium and do your protest. That is what the court said. “Now we also have intelligence that a senator had to invite some security agencies to lead some of them to go and provide food for the protesters. That is sponsorship.
