A recent protest by retired military personnel at the Ministry of Finance, demanding long-overdue entitlements, has sparked widespread attention. While many express frustration at the government’s failure to pay on time, one comment urging the DSS and Nigerian Police to arrest the protesters highlights the concerning disregard for citizens’ right to peaceful demonstration. Labelling protest as a “serious crime” stifles the public’s ability to voice grievances, undermining democratic freedoms.
