Iyabo Ojo Urges Tinubu to Stop Police Tear Gas on Peaceful Protesters
Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to restrain the police from using tear gas on peaceful protesters. As the #EndBadGovernment movements began nationwide on August 1, 2024, reports emerged of clashes between police and local miscreants in multiple states, including Abuja, Lagos, Kano, and Borno. In Abuja, police teargassed a group of protesters at Eagles Square despite the protest being approved for Moshood Abiola National Stadium. According to The Nation, the police attempted to disperse protesters by firing tear gas canisters, but the determined group continued their march.
Similarly, protesters at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos were dispersed using tear gas canisters. These actions sparked outrage and widespread reactions on social media. On August 1, 2024, Iyabo Ojo took to Instagram to condemn the violence. In her posts, she called on President Tinubu and the police to respect the rights of protesters and allow them to demonstrate peacefully. She wrote, “Why are they throwing teargas? @nigeriapoliceforce #peacefulprotest is their right.”

Nigerian singer Omah Lay reveals that he rejected an offer from Davido to work together again on a track.

Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
