He noted that any such action from the faceless protesters, whose identity could not be ascertained,should present themselves to the appropriate security agencies for scrutiny and permission.
Lawan stated that, the faceless persons proposing the Act shouldn’t delve into any action that could be hijack by hoodlums with a view to destroying the beautiful projects, programmes and policies of the governor Fintiri’s administration in the state.
