Buhari to address Nigerians at 7pm

President Muhammadu Buhari will at 7pm address the security situation in the country.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, disclosed this in a statement titled, ‘President Buhari addresses the nation.’

According to the statement, “Following detailed briefing by security chiefs on the current situation in the country, President Muhammadu Buhari will make a national broadcast Thursday, October 22, 2020 at 7pm.

“Television, radio and other electronic media outlets are enjoined to hook up to the network services of the Nigerian Television Authority and Radio Nigeria respectively for the broadcast.”

There have been reports of widespread arson and violence in the past few days as rampaging hoodlums looted, razed and destroyed public and private assets around the country, especially in Lagos, Abuja, Benin, amongst others.

Some state governments had since imposed a 24-hour curfew in the wake of the unrest.

Banks, local government secretariats, police stations, shopping malls, television station, newspaper office, court and many others have been burned down in the last 48 hours.

The situation was further worsened when soldiers, in a bid to disperse protesters at the Lekki toll gate, opened fire on the youths on Tuesday night.
