Christopher Musa, chief of defence staff (CDS), says the military will intervene if the ongoing nationwide #EndbadGovernance protests persist violently.

Musa spoke in reaction to the vandalisation and looting of properties that characterised the protest in many parts of the country on Thursday.

In Kano, protesters looted the newly built Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) Industrial Park, setting parts of it ablaze.

The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) centre was scheduled for commissioning next week.

Some youths were seen making away with desktop computers, chairs, keyboards, and other appliances from the centre.

The protest, which has also turned ugly in Yobe, Lagos, Borno, Gombe, and Abuja, has left at least 14 people reported dead.

Organisers have labelled the nationwide demonstrations as 10 Days of Rage and #EndBadGovernance.

In a press conference on Friday, Musa urged protesters to recognise that destruction is counterproductive and would only set the nation aback.

“We should realise that these destructions and monies have to be used—mmonies for development will have to be used to develop these things so we can move forward, and so instead of doing that, we should come together to make sure nothing is destroyed,” the CDS said.

“The statement has already been passed to the local, state, and federal governments.”
