Following the recent clampdown on #EndSARS promoters and protesters by the Government which has been decried across several quarters, the presidency has made it known that they must face the Law in the circumstances of the aftermath of the protests which was later hijacked.

This was disclosed by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President on Sunday in Channels TV’s Sunday Politics which was monitored by our correspondent.

In addition, he stated that President Muhammadu Buhari is aware of the entire situations because the “bulk stops on his table”.

“This country has only one president and has only one constitution. President Muhammadu Buhari is responsible for his government. The buck stops on his table.

“We are a country governed by law. There is a constitution —under section 33— that clearly defines the rights of citizens to freely protest in a peaceful way but where a peaceful protest turns into riot, violence and looting, there is a law and order duty to be performed.

“Everyone witnessed the massive looting of public and private properties particularly in Lagos, Calabar, Plateau, Taraba and some other states, even the FCT.

“Now, the laws of the country must be allowed to decide, to rule on wrongdoing on the part of anybody.

“I am not particular about any celebrity or promoter but this country has been harmed enormously and people should be prepared to account for what they did”, he said.

Furthermore, he stated that the politicians who promoted the #EndSARS demonstrations including those of the Peoples Democratic Party should “publicly denounce” the attendant destruction caused by the protest.

TheNigeriaLawyer recalls that the Central Bank of Nigeria had obtained an order of the Federal High Court to freeze the accounts of 20 #EndSARS promoter and protesters while the passport of Modupe Odele was seized by Nigeria Immigration Service.
