The Nigerian military has said that it would step in to ensure security and order across the country if the violence that has marred the ongoing hunger protest escalates beyond its current situation.
The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, said this during a press conference in Abuja on Friday.
Musa said, “We are supporting the police all through. We are just on standby. The police are 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.”
