The Nigerian military on Friday announced that it is on standby and would step in, if necessary, to quell the continuing violence and looting in the ongoing nationwide hunger protests.
General Christopher Musa, the Chief of Defense Staff, disclosed this on Friday at a press conference in Abuja.
Musa said, “We are supporting the police all through. We are just on standby. The police is doing a good job; they are handling the situation for now. Unless it breaches beyond what they can handle then the military will step in. The military is on standby and we are watching day and night.”
