The APC, which has been under scrutiny for its handling of the nation’s economic issues and its stance on the proposed protests, is allegedly resorting to these drastic measures to create disorder and discredit the demonstrations.

The party’s apparent strategy appears to involve stirring violence and unrest in a bid to undermine the legitimacy of the protests and shift public focus away from the grievances being voiced.

Reports suggest that the imported thugs have been equipped with firearms and other weapons, raising serious concerns about the potential for significant violence.

The intention, according to sources, is to provoke clashes between protesters and security forces, thereby creating a situation where the protests could be portrayed as uncontrollable and dangerous.

Okubor’s role in the planning is particularly alarming given his known connections to high-profile figures within the APC and his extensive experience in orchestrating violence.

In response to these allegations, civil society groups and opposition parties have called for heightened vigilance and transparency in the state from security agencies.

They urged authorities to investigate the claims thoroughly and to ensure that any attempts to sabotage the protests are promptly addressed.

As the date for the protests approaches, the atmosphere remains tense, with many expressing concern over the potential for violence.
