The National Security Adviser (NSA), Mr. Babagana
Monguno, says President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered security
operatives to carry out their duties within the confines of the
law.
Speaking to State House correspondents after a National Council
Meeting on Thursday, Mr Monguno said the president is fully aware
of the happenings across the nation and is committed as ever to
protect every law-abiding citizen.
The NSA said President Buhari has also asked the government at
all levels to find solutions to the unease that have gripped the
nation following the shooting of #EndSARS protesters at Lekki
Tollgate in Lagos.
The protests across the nation had been very peaceful, but all
hell broke loose after Tuesday when security operatives used live
arms at unarmed protesters in Lagos, resulting to deaths and
injuries.

After the incident, hoodlums under the guise of protesting took
to the streets of Lagos and other areas around the country,
unleashing mayhem.
It on this premise that President Buhari at a National Council
Meeting on Thursday directed that government at all levels must do
all that is necessary to find a solution to the crisis in the
country noting that the riots are taking an unwanted dimension
which could result in full blown anarchy.
Mr Monguno enjoined legitimate protesters to come to a meeting
point with government as the government has begun to make some
concessions.
According to him, if the atmosphere in the country is not
conducive for dialogue, there will be no resolution to the
conflict.
