“We must understand that these acts of destruction and the funds used for development could be better employed to advance our country. Instead of causing damage, we should work together to prevent further destruction,” he said.

He cautioned those ignoring these warnings that the military will not stand by idly while the nation suffers. “We will take action, and it will be professional. Those caught will face legal consequences,” he added.

He also urged the media to reduce coverage of the protests, suggesting that some protesters seek media attention. “I observed that all media stations were focused on the protests. This is not an election; do not give them unnecessary coverage,” he stated.

The #EndBadGovernance protests, which began on August 1, have led to significant destruction and looting of both private and public properties, particularly in the northern states.
