ORGANISERS of the planned #EndBadGovernance nationwide protests scheduled for August 1, have rejected proposals for a confined protest www.AfriqueCAN.com
The Inspector General of Police – IGP, Kayode Egbetokun’s had suggested confined protests in identified locations and advised against street rallies during a meeting with the organisers.
“It is not advisable to go on street processions because as you are planning peaceful protests, some are planning violence,’’ the IGP said.
However, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, one of the lawyers for the Take It Back Movement, one of the groups organising the nationwide protest, rejected the IGP’s proposal.
Some Nigerians will on August 1 take to the streets to protest over the current hardship in the country.
Despite appeals from the federal and state governments, the organizers have vowed to hit the streets from August 1st to 10th.
