The Nigerian military has said it may intervene in controlling the looting crisis and identify its sponsors in the ongoing nationwide hunger protest, tagged #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria.

According to the PUNCH, the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, said this in Abuja on Friday.

Musa said, “We are supporting the police all through. We are just on standby. The police is doing a good job; they are handling the situation for now. Unless it breaches beyond what they can handle then the military will step in. The military is on standby and we are watching day and night.”

Recall that some hoodlums in Kano yesterday looted the yet-to-be-inaugurated NCC center and carted away valuables from the center.
