The G60, a group of opposition politicians in the House of Representatives, has stated that the use of dynamite explosives by demonstrators in Rivers State poses a threat to democracy.
They say despite calls by the police on groups to suspend their planned protest over the local government tenure elongation crisis in Rivers State, some groups have defied the order to stage a protest leading to death of one person following the detonation of a dynamite explosive in front of Hotel Presidential, Aba Road, around 9.45am.
Reacting to the development, the G60 lawmakers in statement signed by its spokesperson, Ikenga Ugochinyere stated that the use of explosives is an invitation to anarchy which must be averted.
The lawmakers called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to direct the Inspector General of Police and DSS to find out who financed the use of explosives at a protest and find out whether there are other explosives that have been planted in different corners in Rivers state.
They also called on the police to allow council workers to resume work and channel energy to arresting bomb bearing Pro-Wike protesters.
