Leaders have taken to social media to condemn the infiltration of the Gen Z protests by goons who are now engaging in wanton destruction of property. “It is unfortunate that what started as peaceful protests has now been hijacked by opportunists and goons who are looting, creating mayhem, and destroying property and infrastructure. “Over the past two weeks, the protests have been notably peaceful, characterised by participants carrying placards, and water, and chanting in solidarity. However, today's protests have been visibly infiltrated by a ragtag militia engaged in looting, vandalising property, and stealing from individuals,” he noted. Footage shared online showed what are believed to be goons vandalising businesses in various parts of the country.
