The statement also enjoined the media, both television, radio, and other electronic media outlets to hook up to the network services of the Nigerian Television Authority and Radio Nigeria respectively for the broadcast.
President Buhari’s broadcast will be coming almost 48 hours after the killing that happened at Lekki toll gate on the 20th of October, 2020.
There have been reports of widespread arson and violence in the past few days as rampaging hoodlums looted, razed, and destroyed public and private assets around the country, especially in Lagos, Abuja, Benin, amongst others.
Some state governments had since imposed a 24-hour curfew in the wake of the unrest.
Banks, local government secretariats, police stations, shopping malls, television stations, newspaper office, court, and many others have been burned down in the last 48 hours.
The situation was further worsened when eyewitnesses said soldiers, in a bid to disperse protesters at the Lekki toll gate, opened fire on the youths on Tuesday night.
