August 1 Protests: Stay In Barracks, You Don’t Have Business In Civil Matter –Lawyer Warns Nigerian Military
A human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, says the Nigerian military has no business issuing a statement on a civil matter.
The legal expert said nobody would be intimidated by their threat.
The statement comes after the Defence Headquarters warned those mobilising for a nationwide protest that it will not condone anarchy.
Blaze Newz gathered that Nigerians are mobilising for a nationwide protest slated for August 1 to August 10, 2024.
Tagged #EndBadGovernace, organisers of the protest have lamented about widespread hunger and inflation in the country.
The military, during a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, said it uncovered plots by unscrupulous elements to hijack the protest and turn it into a violent one by attacking innocent Nigerians and their businesses.
Effiong, a human rights lawyer, in a post on his X handle on Thursday, said soldiers should stay in their barracks and stay out of politics.
He said: “The Nigerian military has no business issuing a statement on a civil matter.
“Nobody will be intimidated by your threat.
“Soldiers should stay in their barracks and stay out of politics.”
