Protests: Violence A Plot To Overthrow Govt, Say Shehu Sani

Senator Sani was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today. He alleged that some days into the protest, money, and some foreign flags were shared among the youths in the country’s northern region. “A day before the last protest, money was shared to the youths, and Russian flags were also shared. That shows that the whole intent of the protest is not simply about the policies and programmes of the government,” he said. “There was an attempt to create an atmosphere where there would be an overthrow of the government. When you have this kind of situation, you will see that someone is writing a script for anarchy, lawlessness, and disorder. It is incumbent for someone like us to speak.”
