Meanwhile, Pastor Sam Adeyemi of the Daystar Christian Centre has reacted to the lawsuit against him by the Nigerian activist, with the popular clergyman asking “who sent this guy to file this frivolous law suit?”
In related news, the Nigerian presidency stated that EndSARS promoters must face the wrath of the law for leading a protest that led to the indiscriminate destruction of government properties.
Garba Shehu, a senior presidential aide on media and publicity, on Sunday, November 8, made this known on Channels TV, with his comment backing the recent freezing of suspected EndSARS leaders’ accounts.
Shehu also berated desperate politicians for sponsoring the EndSARS protest and told them to publicly denounce the destruction.
