Security Reports Forces Buhari To Cancel Planned Subsidy Removal

Details have emerged on how security advice forced the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), to make a U-turn on the decision to remove fuel subsidy.

An impeccable security source said that intelligence handed over to the President by security officials showed that the protests that would have accompanied the subsidy removal might have been far worse than the  mass protests against police brutality that grounded many parts of the country in 2020.
