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.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
