Former Nigerian senator, Shehu Sani, has urged those encouraging protests in Northern Nigeria to reconsider, following scores of deaths recorded on the first day of the nationwide hunger protest.
Sani made this appeal in a statement posted on his X account
on Friday.
He spoke as protesters continued the hunger protests on
Friday in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Lagos, Katsina and other states
despite at least ten deaths recorded on Thursday.
Reacting to the continuation of the protest amid bloodshed
and destruction of properties, Sani appealed that rioting in the North should
be discouraged.
“With scores dead, hundreds injured and properties worth
billions of Naira belonging to private businesses and government destroyed by
hoodlums, mostly in Northern states, those wishing to encourage the
continuation of this protest, especially in the North should reconsider.
“At our end it’s violent protest without visible leadership
and must be discontinued,” he said.
