He added that there were also attacks on 205 critical national infrastructure and other corporate private properties across 14 states including Lagos. According to the president, young people, who started the demonstrations later added more demands, including an immediate release of all arrested protesters.
While noting that it was unfortunate that the initial genuine and well-intended protest of the youths in parts of the country against Sars has been hijacked and misdirected, he said government will not fold its arms and allow criminals to continue to perpetrate these acts of hooliganism.
