The organisers of the planned #EndBadGovernance nationwide protest scheduled for August 1, on Tuesday rejected the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun’s proposal for a confined protests.
Egbetokun had suggested confined protests in identified locations and advised against street rallies during a meeting with the organisers.
According to the IGP: “It is not advisable to go on street processions because as you are planning peaceful protests, some are planning violence.”
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.
Daily Post reports that 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.
