DON’T ALLOW THE #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria PROTEST TURN VIOLENT, ADEYANJU TELLS FCT CP
Deji Adeyanju, one of the lawyers representing the protesters, has urged Federal Capital Territory Police Commissioner Bennett Igweh to prevent the protests from turning violent.
This advice follows the CP’s insistence that the protesters move their protest inside the stadium.
Adeyanju emphasized that the police should permit the protesters to continue their peaceful protests.
“We have been intervening to ensure the protest remains peaceful but if they don’t appreciate our interventions and want the protest to degenerate, so be it.
“This is not the first time the police will attack us. We are used to it,” he said
Some protesters have stated that the protests will persist until President Bola Tinubu addresses their demands.
They urged the president to take the necessary actions, after which the protests would be promptly ended.
The Director of Mobilisation, Take It Back Movement, Damilare Adenola, lamented that the oppression under the president’s leadership had lasted too long.
He said, “The various court orders restricting protesters to particular locations are an aberration.
