Those behind the planned #EndBadGovernance nationwide demonstrations slated for August have rejected a proposal by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun for confined protests.
While the meeting lasted on Tuesday with the organisers of the nationwide protests, IGP Egbetokun stressed the need for confined protests in identified locations and advised against street rallies.
In his words: “It is not advisable to go on street processions because as you are planning a protest, some are planning violence.”
But, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN), lawyer for the Take It Back Movement, one of the groups organising the nationwide protests, declined the IGP’s suggestion.
In attendance at the virtual meeting are human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, representatives of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), other lawyers, civil society organisations, as well as some arrowheads of the planned protests.
