The Governor described as unfortunate and unacceptable, the killing of innocent and unarmed young Nigerians who came out holding the National Flag and chanting the country’s Anthem while calling for positive changes.

He stressed that democracy guaranteed the right of citizens to express themselves against unfavorable policies of government and stated that security operatives owed the people the duty to ensure that such protests remain peaceful.

Ortom said visiting the END SARS protesters with violence was not a solution to the agitations, and urged the Federal Government to embrace dialogue and address the concerns of Nigerians as echoed by the protesting youths.

The Governor also advised the END SARS protesters to remain peaceful and not allow miscreants to hijack their noble march towards a better Nigeria.
