Olusegun Dada, special assistant to President Bola Tinubu on social media, says “those who want to burn down the country under whatever guise” will face the “strongest resistance”.
There have been reports of a youth-led nationwide protest over the rising cost of living and economic hardship.
The protest is reportedly slated for August 1 to 15.
The proposed demonstration has evoked memories of the nationwide anti-police brutality protests of 2020 which led to fatalities, arson, and the torching of mass transit buses.
