A youth group in Nigeria says it has gathered information that some criminal elements plan to use the new #EndSARS protest for Christmas and New Year lootings.
The National Youth Coalition noted that some criminal elements, hoodlums and cultists have perfected plans to use the new #EndSARS protest due to start today for their Christmas and New Year lootings.
In a statement released to newsmen in Lagos on Monday by Director of Contacts and Mobilisation of the coalition, Mr. Olugbenga Michael, the group urged the various security agencies to clampdown on any illegal gathering of people in selected states as they are criminals who want to use the renewed #EndSARS Protest to loot the properties of hardworking Nigerians for the upcoming Christmas and New Year festivities.
The group also called on Nigerians to resist any group of criminals by refusing to participate in the planned protest as well as protecting their investments and properties from these marauding criminals.
On our part, we are documenting names of the criminals organising the open looting campaign in the name of #EndSARS protest as well as the hoodlums who will participate in the looting spree which will be forwarded to the security agencies for appropriate action.
Nonetheless, youths are advised to shun all forms of criminality, anarchy and insurrection and take full advantage of the various Federal Government programmes contained in the Economic Sustainability Plan and various interventionary initiatives of the Central Bank of Nigeria to better their lives.
