President Muhammadu Buhari urges members of the international community to "know all the facts" before they take any position or make "hasty pronouncements".
Buhari stated this in his televised broadcast to Nigerians on Thursday when addressing the issue of the ongoing #EndSARS protest.
He added that he had taken into account all the agitations of the protesters over the brutality meted on Nigerians by officers of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
He said, “It has become necessary for me to address you having heard from many concerned Nigerians and having concluded a meeting with all the Security Chiefs.
“I must warn those who have hijacked and misdirected the initial, genuine and well-intended protest of some of our youths in parts of the country, against the excesses of some members of the now-disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

"To our neighbours in particular, and members of the international community, many of whom have expressed concern about the ongoing development in Nigeria, we thank you and urge you all to seek to know all the facts available before taking a position or rushing to judgement and making hasty pronouncements.”
