#EndSARS: Nigeria not descending into lawlessness – CAGG

  

A  Civil Society Organisation (CSO), Citizens Action for Good Governance (CAGG), Wednesday, said Nigeria is not descending into lawlessness and anarchy as reported in some quarters.

Refuting the claim, the national coordinator, Nazir Galadanchi, in a statement said there is serious propaganda going on by some politicians and groups who do not mean well for the peace and security of the country.

He said the claim made by this group of Nigerians is to paint a bad picture before the international community as if the citizens of Nigeria are locked up in their rooms and never goes out to carry out their legitimate businesses.

He decried the statements made by some Nigerians on pages of newspapers claiming what is not true.

He said the Nigerian Police Force under the leadership of Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has been on the streets and roads across the country to ensure safety of lives and property.

He stated further that politicians and groups with bias should stop the acts of sabotage of current government effort to position the Nigerian Police Force; traditional rulers, local government chairmen and religious leaders should join the Police to stop activities of criminality under the guise of EndSARS protest.

Galadanch advocated that   more public sensitisation should be carried out by CSOs, NGOs and CBOs to make young people, including women know the implication of the act of vandalism and looting.

He said unnecessary heating up of the polity should stop. Rather, Nigerians should be patriotic and uphold the unity of the country adding that all who have been involved in vandalising and burning of both public and private infrastructure should be brought to book and adequate protection should be given to public and private facilities.

He said: “It has become imperative for us to speak on the current state of affairs in the country based on the looting and intentions to overheat the polity with all forms of criminality under the guise of protest.”
