Organisers Reject IGP’s Proposal For Confined Protests, Insist On Street Processions
  • PublishedJuly 30, 2024

A proposal by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun for confined protests has been rejected by organisers of the planned #EndBadGovernance nationwide demonstrations slated for August.

At a meeting with the organisers on Tuesday, the IGP suggested confined protests in identified locations and advised against street rallies.

“It is not advisable to go on street processions because as you are planning peaceful protests, some are planning violence,” Egbetokun cautioned.

However, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, one of the lawyers for the Take It Back Movement, one of the groups organising the nationwide protests, rejected the proposal of the IGP.
