This protest comes few days after the Senate President Bukola Saraki called for the removal of “incapable” security chiefs in the country over the continued killings and security challenges bedevilling the nation.

Saraki said the killings is not a situation to be politicised. He also accused the security chiefs and agencies of failing to work together.
