Wike accuses unnamed Senator of sponsoring Abuja protest
By Emma Ogbuehi
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, is claiming that security agencies in the territory have allegedly identified a senator as one of those sponsoring the anti-government protests.
Wike disclosed this shortly after an emergency FCT Security Council meeting Thursday in Abuja.
The Minister on Thursday evening summoned the emergency security meeting, apparently to review activities of the #EndBadGovernance protesters on the first day of the nationwide protests.

Wike had earlier in the day commended the protesters for being nonviolent.
However, reports of violence emerged later in the evening when some elements took over the ever-busy Murtala Muhammed (Kubwa) Expressway, setting bonfires, erecting blockades and extorting motorists.
