The Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, on Sunday, described the October 21 attack by hoodlums, masquerading as EndSARS protesters, on the Nigerian Ports Authority headquarters as disastrous. During a tour of the NPA headquarters, Amaechi also noted that the perpetrators of the act should be punished. “I was once a student, we did not take laws into our hands even when we were protesting. “During the time of Tai Solarin, there were national protests, we partook in those protests but we didn’t take laws into our hands. On why it took him 32 days to inspect the carnage done to the NPA headquarters, the minister stated that there was no difference between then and now, indicating that he had been briefed by the NPA management.
