The Minister of Defence, Major General Bashir Magashi (retd.), has said over 60 percent of #EndSARS protesters don’t know why they participated in the demonstrations.

The #EndSARS protest recommenced in Lagos on Saturday under the aegis of #OccupyLekkiTollGate, with more than 30 protesters, including Debo Adebayo, a Nigerian comedian better known as Mr. Macaroni, arrested by security operatives.

The protesters were, however, arraigned before a mobile court in Lagos, and granted bail.

Magashi, who spoke on Saturday after participating in the revalidation exercise of the All Progressives Congress in Kano, alleged that some of the protesters were rogues and thieves.

He said, “There is a basic responsibility of the government, and that is to protect every Nigerian, whoever he is. We always believe that given the necessary intelligence, no agent of government will sit down and fold its hands without doing something.

“This #EndSARS issue, if you recall, the minister of information has briefed this nation and alerted that something like this is coming; and we know we are always prepared. This is our job, to ensure internal security.

“We must plan for it. We don’t want to be taken by surprise. And if you want us to be taken by surprise, then, there is no need to call us protectors. If #EndSARS is to take place today, we will ensure that we have peaceful counter plans that we will put in place to ensure that mistakes are not made in protecting the people.

“You know the composition of the #EndSARS crowd. Over 60 percent of them are people who don’t even know why they are there. They just come to take part. Some of them are rogues; some are there to steal. They want to do whatever they think. There are a few actual people (among the protesters).”

The minister added that the government will not allow “unpatriotic elements” to destabilize the country under any guise.

Magashi said, “The genuine ones, we want to get them enlightened. They should stop doing things that will create collateral damages for the country. We need people who will sit down and use their brains. Sit down with the government and see what we can do.

 “We ask them, ‘what are your problems?’ In the initial one, when they said this is their problem, even Mr. President spoke. They gave five-point demand and they were attended to. But if some people want the country to be governed the way they want, we are not elected to serve particular people. We were elected to serve this country.
