Babachir Lawal, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), has claimed that in an effort to put an end to the August protest, the Federal Government is using all of its tools, including money, threats of arrest, inciting fear, and intimidation.
Lawal revealed this in a statement released on Wednesday in Abuja, according to News360 Info. He criticized the Nigerian police and military for their position on the impending statewide rallies by irate Nigerians.
The former SGF attacked the Police and the military high command for threatening Nigerians in an effort to dissuade them from taking part in the impending protests.
