“It is most unfortunate for a Nigerian citizen of Gari-malam status to descend so low to undermining constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and its Sovereignty to display ignorance of the law. Therefore security agencies should do the needful by arresting and prosecuting him for treasonable statement capable of disrupting law and order.” The Statement added.
