EndBadGovernance Organizers Demand IGP’s Immediate Removal Over Protest Killings
The Take It Back Movement (TIB), a prominent group behind the EndBadGovernance protests, has called for the immediate dismissal of Inspector General of Police (IGP) Olukayode Egbetokun.
This demand follows the reported killing of several protesters during demonstrations across the country.
According to a statement released by TIB’s National Coordinator, Sanyaolu Juwon, the organization alleges that Nigerian police officers were responsible for the deaths of at least 40 protesters.
These incidents occurred during nationwide protests against the high cost of living, which began on August 1 and are slated to conclude on August 10.
TIB claims that over 1,000 individuals have been detained in various states, including 632 in Kano and more than 109 in Sokoto, for participating in the protests.
The statement also condemned the use of teargas and live ammunition by the police against demonstrators, emphasizing that the violence has led to unnecessary fatalities.
TIB criticized the handling of the protests, noting that the demonstrations, which started as peaceful rallies, were marred by disruptions and violence, reportedly fueled by criminal elements.
The group insists that the ongoing situation reflects poorly on the current administration’s approach to handling civil dissent and has urged President Bola Tinubu to take immediate action by removing the IGP to restore order and prevent further loss of life.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
