Protests: ‘Deal decisively with arsonists, troublemakers’ — IGP


Kayode Egbetokun, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), has ordered his men across the country to deal decisively with arsonists and troublemakers as youths stage #EndBadGovernance protests against hunger and economic hardship across the federation starting on Thursday, August 1, 2024.

The IGP, in a statement on the eve of the nationwide protests, revealed that the organisers of the planned demonstrations failed to furnish the police with the details of the protests, including the names of intending participants and routes of rallies, among others.

In his words: “The name given to the movement — ‘Take It Back Movement’ has far-reaching undemocratic, unconstitutional and illegal connotations.

“Intelligence revealed that the protests are aimed at unleashing mayhem on the polity and innocent citizens.

“We will not fold our arms and watch a degeneration of the situation into a state of anomy.”
