Those encouraging protests in Northern Nigeria should reconsider – Shehu Sani

Former Nigerian senator, Shehu Sani, has urged those encouraging protests in Northern Nigeria to reconsider, following scores of deaths recorded on the first day of the nationwide hunger protest.
Sani made this appeal in a statement posted on his X account on Friday.
He spoke as protesters continued the hunger protests on Friday in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Lagos, Katsina and other states despite at least ten deaths recorded on Thursday.
Reacting to the continuation of the protest amid bloodshed and destruction of properties, Sani appealed that rioting in the North should be discouraged.
“With scores dead, hundreds injured and properties worth billions of Naira belonging to private businesses and government destroyed by hoodlums, mostly in Northern states, those wishing to encourage the continuation of this protest, especially in the North should reconsider.
“At our end it’s violent protest without visible leadership and must be discontinued,” he said.
