Executive director, Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre (RULAAC), Okechukwu Nwanguma, has advised #EndSARS protesters to beat a tactical retreat and allow the government react to their demands.
The human rights activist said it is important to cease further protest especially because continuous protest would create more opportunities for hired thugs to sabotage the protest.
“Violence and attacks on Police stations and police officers is condemnable. This is not part of the protest. The protest has been infiltrated by thugs hired by government agents to derail the protest, turn it violent and discredit the just struggle and campaign to end law enforcement excesses,” he said.
He wondered how a group that has been peaceful all these days would suddenly be accused of unleashing violence. ” It is sabotage,” he said.
He said now that it is clear that hoodlums have infiltrated and hijacked the protest, he advised the genuine protesters to beat a tactical retreat and allow time for government to implement the measures it has promised
