"I have been seeing of recent some social media giants in Nigeria going around trying to rise protests. Nobody is stopping anyone from protesting, but we should always remember the unintended consequences, because these protests might be hijacked and people might be killed or injured.

We are making efforts to provide avenues for some of these media experts to be embedded with our troops when they are going on an operation in the North East, North West and North Central so that they can have a feel of what they troops go through and the challenges ahead.
