Speaking with journalists, Charles Oputa, leader of the protesters, said the Nigerian youth should be alive to their responsibilities and stand up against any form of injustice or oppression.

Deji Adeyanju, another protester who was the co-convener of ResumeOr Resign against President Buhari some months ago, explained that they were at the ministry to find out what the federal government is doing about the plight of Nigerians in Libya.

“We are here to highlight to the government plight of our fellow brothers in Libya,” Adeyanju said.

“We are here to ask , what government is doing? what step have they taken and what is the situation of Nigerians there? How many Nigerians have been brought back?”, he concluded.
