“But due to a trust deficit, people often think we are not truthful when we make certain claims.
“While some were genuinely trying to protest and express their grievances to the government, others attempted to exploit the situation for financial gain.
“They indeed raised funds.
“We are talking about N9 billion.
“I’m sure you were not aware that someone received that money.
“From that protest alone, N9 billion was generated.
“And the funds were actually distributed to incite chaos in Nigeria.”
