#EndSARS protest was to remove me from office — Nigeria's President

The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has claimed that last year’s #EndSARS protest against police brutality was aimed at removing him from office.

Buhari said this when he appeared on Arise TV on the morning of Thursday, June 10.

The president stated that those who participated in the protest have made Nigeria unattractive to investors.

He also blamed the protest on the dwindling inflow of foreign direct investment to the country.

In response, he said, “This question was answered last year when there was the #EndSARS protest. You remember the young people that wanted to march here and remove me?”

He added, “Tell the young people to behave themselves and make the country safe, then we can attract real investors to the country”.
