A human rights lawyer, FEMI FALANA has warned protesters to desist from anything that would jeopardize the objective of the protests.

FALANA warned Nigerian youths protesting against hunger, hardship and socio-economic policies affecting the country to be wary of thugs and distance themselves from undemocratic forces who have taken advantage of the peaceful protests to engage in violence or campaign for another military coup in the country.

According to him, the legitimate protests against hardship in the land should not be turned into a campaign for an unconstitutional change of government.

The human rights lawyer said that the act of brandishing Russian flag while protesting in Nigeria is an abuse of constitutional right.

The legal practitioner further urged the President BOLA TINUBU-led administration to review the neoliberal policies promoting poverty and hardship in the country, which he said would make any form of unconstitutional change of government unattractive to Nigerians.
