BREAKING: #EndSARS: Finally, Buhari to address Nigerians at 7pm

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, will address the nation on Thursday, at 7pm.

The Special Assistant to the President on New Media, Bashir Ahmed made the announcement in a tweet on Thursday.

He said, “Following detailed briefing by security chiefs on the current situation in the country, President @MBuhari will make a national broadcast, today, October 22, 2020 at 7pm.”

“Television, radio and other electronic media outlets are enjoined to hook up to the network services of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and Radio Nigeria respectively as President @MBuhari addresses the Nation later this evening, at 7pm.”

Buhari had earlier at the Security Council Meeting directed the law enforcement agents to use any lawful means to bring back order in affected places.

There have been reports of widespread arson and violence in the past few days as rampaging hoodlums looted, razed and destroyed public and private assets around the country, especially in Lagos, Abuja, Benin, amongst others.

Some state governments had since imposed a 24-hour curfew in the wake of the unrest.

Banks, local government secretariats, police stations, shopping malls, television station, newspaper office, court and many others have been burned down in the last 48 hours.

The situation was further worsened when eyewitnesses said soldiers, in a bid to disperse protesters at the Lekki toll gate, opened fire on the youths on Tuesday night.
