The Kogi State Governor, Mr. Yahaya Bello has called on the Nigerian youths to shelve their planned second round of the #EndSARS protests, beginning from Monday December 7.
In a personally signed statement on Sunday forwarded to Igbere TV, Mr. Bello said such move would be premature, dangerous and counterproductive.
He said he was worried following intelligence reports that youths were mobilising to resume another round of #EndSARS protests in some selected cities beginning from December 7.
According to him, there was urgent need for all relevant stakeholders to take steps that would ensure the country does not witness another round of #EndSARS protests.
He said the country was yet to recover from the devastating impacts of the last #EndSARS protests which were hijacked by hoodlums who unleashed unimaginable mayhem on innocent people and engaged in massive looting and destructions of both public and private infrastructures across the country.
Bello is of the opinion that another round of protests will worsen the already precarious security situation and economic recession currently bedeviling the country.
