A former presidential aide and activist, Reno Omokri has opined that human life is less important in the regime of the President Muhammadu Buhari (retd).
This comes after a series of events relating to the #EndSARS protests, including the shooting of civilians by soldiers, hoodlum attacks in multiple states as well as lootings of COVID-19 palliatives.
In a statement on his official Twitter account, Omokri compared the government’s response to the 2014 kidnapping of over 100 Chibok schoolgirls by a terrorist group, Boko Haram and the attack of harmless protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos State.

Omokri in his statement lamented the use of security operatives to recover looted palliative and arrest looters than using the forces to rescue kidnappers from the notorious Boko Haram terrorist organisation.
He said, “Our Governors that did not send soldiers and police to rescue Boko Haram victims are now sending them to rescue looted palliatives. Hmm. I never knew indomie noodles was so valuable! In General @MBuhari’s Nigeria, it is better to be a palliative than to be a human being #EndSARS”
In a subsequent tweet, he added “If our Governors had cared for kidnapped human beings as they care for kidnapped palliatives, Nigeria would have been more secure today. I am shocked that Governors who do nothing when their citizens disappear are going crazy because Indomie noodles has disappeared”
While there is an ongoing investigation into the Lekki shooting, the army is still to admit to killings of civilians as reported by witnesses.

Recall that the army initially denied the presence of its officers at the scene by claiming that the recorded video evidence was photoshopped.
About a week after, they owned up but indicted Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, stating that he made the call to involve the military.
