EndBadGovernance organisers reject IGP’s proposal for confined protests. Discover their reasons and next steps.

On Tuesday, the organizers of the intended #EndBadGovernance protest slated for August 1st declined Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun’s suggestion to limit demonstrations.

During a meeting with the organizers, Egbetokun recommended that protests be limited to specific locations and cautioned against holding demonstration on streets.

The IGP advises against street processions due to the risk that while peaceful protests are being planned, others may be plotting violence.

One of the lawyers representing the Take It Back Movement, a group involved in coordinating protests across Nigeria, named Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, declined the proposition from IGP.

On August 1st, a group of Nigerians will be hitting the streets to demonstrate against the prevailing difficulties faced in their nation.

Although the federal and state authorities have made appeals, the organizers remain resolute in their plan to take to the streets between August 1st and 10th.
