Amid the ongoing hunger protests in different parts of the country, the Nigerian military has vowed to act if things escalate further.
Speaking in a press conference held in Abuja on Friday, General Christopher Musa, the Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, called the ongoing looting, loss of lives, and destruction of properties “crazy”.
According to him, the armed forces will not stand by and watch the protests degenerate further as an intervention would take place.
