Lagos-Protest

Police, Army, DSS on alert as Lagos #EndBadGovernance protesters plan procession to Alausa over fallen comrades

 

The #EndBadGovernance protesters today gathered at the Rights House in Ikeja to mourn the deaths of their comrades who had fallen during the 10 days hunger demonstration across the country. 

The mourners also said they would be marching in procession to Alausa to register their grievances over the deaths of the protesters allegedly killed by security agencies. 

They also said they would be demanding the sack of Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun over the deaths. 

Meanwhile, a phalanx of police and military officers have taken strategic positions around the venue of the mourning, especially because the mourners have announced plans to march to Alausa. 

Hassan Taiwo Soweto, one of the organisers of the protest in Lagos said their rights to assemble and movement cannot be taken away from them, hence the decision for the procession to Alausa.
