Recall that on Thursday, Fubara told the protesters that his government would do everything within its powers to make life easier for the people of the state.

“But you see, this particular protest that we are doing now, we worry that we know a lot of people are planning to take advantage of this protest to destroy our state, but we will not allow it.
“I want to thank you for being peaceful. I already know your problem, and we will communicate it to the federal government. It is not easy but we know with time, it will be well. Starting from our own state, everything will be well. What we need is to support the government and support the policy.
