🇳🇬🪖I am a soldier of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I swore to defend the Constitution which includes your right to protest.
But that right is NOT absolute.
There are places called restricted areas. You cannot march into a military facility, a security zone, or a declared exclusion area and claim your constitutional right protects you. IT DOES NOT 🚫🚫.
Exercise your right. Yes. But know your boundaries. Know your duties. Because when you breach the law in the name of protest, the defense of "I WAS EXERCISING MY RIGHT" will not save you.
🚫🚫❓Check the location you plan to march to. Is it RESTRICTED? Is it a SENSITIVE AREA? Do not mistake visibility for invincibility.
And listen carefully: the ARMY 🪖 is not the POLICE 🚨.
We are not here for tear gas. We are not here for baton charges. We are not here for negotiation at the barricade.
If you violate restricted areas, if you attack security personnel, if you destroy public property do not expect a friendly face. WHAT FOLLOWS WILL BE SWIFT, LAWFUL, and FINAL.
This is not a threat. It is a warning from someone who believes in the rule of law and knows that your rights end where danger to others and the state begins.
PROTEST PEACEFULLY. PROTEST LEGALLY. PROTEST IN APPROVED SPACES.
Otherwise? Good luck. You will need it.
And me? I will watch from the side as our unserious content creators show up with their cameras, ready to film chaos for clicks. They won't be there when the consequences land.
BE GUIDED. PROTEST PEACEFULLY 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🇳🇬⚖️
