Buhari seen leading protest before presidency, years later his security agents brutalize protesters

A picture of President Muhammed Buhari was seen protesting against the corruption and mishandling of the Boko Haram insurgency in 2014 is trending online; in the front of the picture we see Buhari, John Odigie-Oyegun, and Former Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, led thousands of party supporters in a protest rally in Abuja, accusing the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP-led Federal Government of playing politics with Boko Haram.

According to them, the protest then was essentially a clarion call against the increased spate of insecurity, killings, corruption, and police brutality against official opposition which have become a feature of his current administration.

In the current Buhari-led government, peaceful protesters were been brutalize, dehumanized beating to near death for demanding an end to bad governance.

General Buhari and his friends led protests in this country.

According to Reno Omokri, an aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan: “This policeman shooting at #June12thProtest protesters is not well paid, or well equipped or even insured against hazards. Yet, he is shooting at protesters who are protesting to secure a better life for him and his family. Some people don’t know their friends from their enemies”
