Let me tell you what the typical day in the National Security Advisers office look like..

1. Boko Haram attack in the North East
2. Mali insurgents from the collapse of the regime
3. ISWAP
4. Possible BokoHaram attack in other parts of the country.
5. Bandits in Katsina, Zamfara, Sokoto, Kaduna, Niger state.
6. Ethnic conflicts in Taraba, Kaduna, Benue, cross River, Ebonyi
7. Kidnappers along Abuja / Kaduna highway
8. Vandalism of oil installations and pipeline across the country
9. Farmer herder clash
10. 6m people in IDP camps made worse by recent flooding, this is the size of a country in Europe.
The EndSARS movement got the attention of the govt, we could have been protesting against persistent bomb blasts in Ikeja / VI or bandits on 3rd mainland or Lekki / Epe expressway
11. Secessionist agenda by various groups.

12. IDP camps getting filled up, the people need to go back to their communities to start their lives. If they leave the camps forcefully it's a refugee crisis. You know the rest..

When we got the attention of the govt with EndSARS
We were supposed to release the choke hold in form of protests in a highly volatile society with weak institutions that can descend to anarchy in minutes. No government is trusted 100%, the citizens set up monitoring and evaluation systems to put the govt in check.
Set up reporting and monitoring lines to check if SARS officials adhered to the instructions given.

Douse the tension but put everything in place to return to protests in 4 weeks if visible changes aren't seen in the communities. Educate the citizenry on their rights..
and what to expect from police officers. Work with the police to roll out jingles against police brutality and the disbanded SARS group. Follow up on the judicial panel..

In all protect peace, prevent further loss of lives and properties.
