Coronavirus: Lagos residents threaten to protest if government fails to provide lockdown palliative

Barely 48 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari announced a 14-day shutdown of business, economic and social activities in Lagos, Ogun and Abuja to slow down the exposure of Nigerians to the coronavirus pandemic, some residents of Lagos have threatened to protest if they do not receive any palliative from the government within two days.

“We are hungry. No food. No light. How do they want us to stay inside? No money, no food, what should we eat?, voices in the background said. An LNSC official responded saying if the residents wanted the government to release everyone so that the virus can continue to spread.“I never said so. They said social distance. But we are telling you from now to two days we would come out to protest if they did not send any money of food to us. We would protest. We would protest. We are giving you two day. We would protest in two days time.

“They did not pay us any money. They did not give us food. Our children are there they said we should stay indoor for what reason. Tomorrow we are going to protest. Our children are hungry and you say we should stay indoors. For what reason. You didn’t give us money. You didn’t give us anything and you want us to stay indoors.”
