In a bid to undermine the growing protest against his government's removal of fuel subsidy, President Goodluck Jonathan has ordered the SSS to arrest civil rights attorney, Femi Falana, Fiery Lagos pastor, Tunde Bakare, ex-member of house of representatives, Dino Melaye and and Kaduna based activist, Shehu Sanni.
Two sources within the State Security Services told Saharareporters that the security agency had received presidential instructions to move against these four men as well as other perceived organizers of the resistance against the government's dramatic increase of the price of fuel.
"The presidency has decided that the way to break the protest is to go after those that the government believed to be the brains organizing the #Occupy Nigeria protests, " said one of the sources.

IF THIS INFORMATION IS TRUE, THE PRESIDENT WILL INCUR THE WRATH OF THE PEOPLE. HIS RESPECT WILL BE LOST AND PEOPLE'S CLAIM THAT HE IS AFRAID OF THE FEW CABALS AND HE MAKES THEM SACRED COWS WHILE THE 160 MILLIONS NIGERIAN HAVE BECOME THE SCAPE GOATS. IT WILL FURTHER HEAT THE POLITY WHICH MAY BECOME TOO HOT FOR HIM AND HIS GROUP OF SYCOPHANTS TO HANDLE. HE SHOULD ADDRESS THE CORRUPTION ISSUE.
ReplyDeleteso "BADLUCK ...SATAN" can order for the arrests of innocent citizens who are leading the Nation to fight for thier rights,
ReplyDeletewhy dont he face the BOKO-HARAMS, he is a coward and an ingrate to the Nigerian masses, he has forgotten that the people who put him there can as well remove him by force from power by popular declaration just like what has been happeing in some nations of the world last year.
REMOVE GEJ now, he is BADLUCK for Nigeria, BUHARI would have been a better choice...
the are stealing our money and passing the brunt and pain towards us...
FOOLS, GOD WILL DEFINITELY PUNISH THEM.
No president will ever order ds kind of report, if our press dont have anything to report, they can also go on strike,Nigeria press s always a failure, U hardly see a tru report, alwayss rumor, Bulshits!
ReplyDeleteWe will know if it is true or not, if ths SSS arrests them or not
ReplyDeleteit will not stop d protest it will only make it stronger. d president suppose to oder the arrest of the KABALS mike Adenuga and co's not the activist
ReplyDeleteThis is not true . Press should not mis-inform the public.
ReplyDeleteWe shd face the fact who is BUHARI?we shd nt in any way compare GOODLUKE with BUHARI bcos he is 100% better than him.
ReplyDeleteWar is at hand, Jonathan when we match to Aso Rock there will be no where to hide.
ReplyDeleteStep down or face the wrath of the people.
Remember the French Revolution.
A leader can't satisfy every body in a nation! Its very easy to criticize a leader! A leader is the mirrow image and sample of the population in a country. We can't go to Ghana to secure a leader for Nigeria. The leader must come from Nigeria. We need to overall the 'project Nigeria'. Leader is not our problem, but the system that produce the leader is the problem. The activist are part of the system. I wonder if they will produce a good leader better than GEJ... Let look inward and sanitise they system which is our culture...'corruption'
ReplyDeleteMy able President don't don't mind all the fools that comment on this news n go ahead to arrest those criminals especially the one that fail to do the work God send him. didn't his Bible say that he should pray for those in authority? Dear Goodluck U're on the right track
ReplyDeleteIts really disappointing when Nigerians ask for an extremist like Buhari.Going by his profile,he supports Nigeria to be Islamic nation,he is tribalistic and not trustworthy.You can never live by his words,his pronouncement led to the death of youth corpers in the post election violence.You cant know all this except you are close to him please watch out he is devil reincarnated
ReplyDeleteThis statement can never be true. Jonathan cant do that. He is our President.
ReplyDeleteat this time we should be careful about what we say as not to undermine the social reconciliation going on in the country. We gave the President the mandate to lead so we should support and pray for him and not throw fiery weapon of words all over the place.
ReplyDeleteRealizing The Nigeria Project is a Must & all hands must be on Deck! Arise oh compatriot!
This report may or may not be true. It amazes me how some people launch insults without verifying some things. Let us wait and see what happens...
