Gobe: FG urged to expose, arrest, and prosecute those behind Buhari’s rumoured death

The Federal Government has been urged to investigate, arrest and prosecute “mischief-makers” behind the rumoured death of President Muhammadu Buhari said to be on vacation in London.

President of the Coalition of Civil Society Groups (COSG), Mr Etuk Bassey Williams, made the call when he led a peaceful protest march on Tuesday in Abuja against incessant sponsored media attacks, blackmail and protest against President Buhari, especially on the grounds of his health condition and state of the economy of the nation.

The protesters carried placards of various inscriptions such as “President Muhammadu Buhari is alive”, “stop blackmailing Buhari & CBN Governor,” Economic recession: blame past leaders not Buhari, Emefiele,” “we support government policies,” we pass vote of confidence on CBN Governor” among others.

Williams, said information available to the Coalition revealed that certain group  sponsored by some “disgruntled” politicians who were bent on destabilising the nation have perfected plans to stage a massive protest against President Buhari, they alleged “is dead”.

He gave one-week ultimatum to the Police and other security agencies to arrest, expose and prosecute the blackmailers who are going around telling Nigerians and international community that President Buhari is dead, so as to serve as deterrent.
