EndBadGovernance: Adegboruwa Calls For Suspension Of Protests

Human rights lawyer Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa has demanded the immediate suspension of the ongoing nationwide protests against bad governance in Nigeria.

Adegboruwa, representing the Take It Back Movement, a key organizer of the protests, conveyed this message in a statement released on Friday.

Recall that Adegboruwa had last Friday written to the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, to notify him of planned public meetings, rallies, and processions being organised by a non-governmental body, the Take It Back Movement, all its members, and some other patriotic Nigerians and groups.

The human rights activist, in a letter dated Friday, July 26, 2024, stated that the planned rallies would commence from Aug. 1 to 10, 2024, or any time thereafter at the Eagle Square in Abuja and other public spaces in the capital cities of all the 36 states and the headquarters of the 774 local government councils.

Adegboruwa, while reiterating the role of the police during such rallies and protests, urged the IGP to make available the details of any police officer or police team that will be assigned to cover the said meetings/rallies/processions to harmonise plans and strategies for the same.

The request comes against the background of warnings from security agencies and groups over the planned protest.

However, the legal practitioner has now called for the suspension of the protest following incidents of killings, lootings and destruction of government properties by suspected hoodlums who are said to have hijacked the protest.
