, The Group pointed that the Security Forces particularly the Department of State Services and the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, should immediately swing into action and unmasked the true identities of the leader of Civil Society Network on Economic and Social Advancement in the National interest

They wondered why the leader of a group calling for financial probity of government couldn’t come out boldly with his name if it actually it was fighting for the interest of the nation.

Recall that the convenor of the Civil Society Network on Economic and Social Advancement, identified as Abubakar Yari, had during a press briefing last week, threatened to picket the headquarters of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited over the continued perennial fuel scarcity in the country

The group, in addition, called for one million signatures to a petition urging the presidency to sack NNPC’s Group Chief Executive Officer for alleged inability to manage the spate of fuel scarcity in Nigeria.

According to the group, “the faceless civil society group lacks verifiable facts hence they resorted to hiding their identities. The NNPC and Mele Kyari have not rested on their oars in putting Nigeria in the good light in the world’s petroleum industry.

“We urge the Nigerian security architecture to investigate this group The President Bola Tinubu administration has shown capacity, hence we cannot as a group, sit and watch some disgruntled elements to create smoke where there is no fire.”
