The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has called on those organizing the upcoming nationwide protest to submit detailed information to their respective state police commissioners.

This request was made during a press conference held in Abuja on Friday. The protest, scheduled to start on August 1, is driven by youth groups addressing the escalating cost of living in Nigeria.

Egbetokun emphasized that providing specific details would assist the police in deploying the necessary personnel and resources to maintain public safety throughout the protest.

The required information includes the planned route and assembly point for the protest; the expected duration of the event; the names and contact details of the protest leaders and organizers; and strategies to prevent the protest from being disrupted by criminal elements, including measures to identify and isolate potential troublemakers.

The IGP also highlighted the importance of clearly designating protest routes and areas to prevent clashes with other events, establishing effective communication channels with protest leaders to swiftly address any emerging issues, and minimizing the risks of violence, property damage, or other criminal activities.

Egbetokun urged all participants to cooperate with law enforcement, adhere to legal requirements, and follow international best practices for peaceful assembly to ensure a safe and effective demonstration of their rights.

Additionally, Egbetokun mentioned that the police have received credible intelligence suggesting the involvement of foreign mercenaries in the protest. He cautioned that the timing of the protest might be problematic, given the current climate.

The federal and state governments, including President Bola Tinubu, have urged the youth to reconsider the protest.

Religious and traditional leaders have also advocated for the demonstration’s cancellation.

Both the military and the Department of State Services (DSS) have expressed concerns that the protest could be taken over by violent elements.

New Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, has sent a clear and intense message to his squad: they must push themselves to the limit if they want any chance of competing for the Premier League title.

Amorim, who took over from Erik ten Hag during the November international break, believes that effort and commitment are non-negotiable for success.

Since stepping into the role, the 39-year-old Portuguese coach has managed only one victory, a commanding 4-0 win over Everton at Old Trafford.

Despite the underwhelming results so far, Amorim is focused on reshaping the team’s mindset and work ethic before fully implementing his tactical vision.

Speaking passionately about his expectations, Amorim emphasized the importance of relentless effort on the pitch.

“We need to sprint back, sprint forward, and fight for every ball. This has to be the foundation,” he explained.

“If the players aren’t ready to give everything, the tactics won’t matter.”

Amorim’s comments highlight his no-nonsense approach. He made it clear that even the most talented players cannot rely solely on skill.

“It doesn’t matter if you have the best starting XI in the world; if you don’t run, you won’t win anything,” he stated.

“To win the Premier League, we need to run like mad dogs. If we’re not willing to do that, we’re not going to succeed.”

UK-based Nigerian pastor, Tobi Adegboyega, known for his lavish lifestyle and controversial persona, has revealed that his partner, Mary Olubukola Alade, is the one who financially supports his lifestyle.

Adegboyega, who leads the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation), made this revelation during a legal battle with the UK immigration authorities.

During his hearing before Judges Bruce and Rastogi, Adegboyega explained that he does not receive any salary from the church.

Instead, his partner Mary, who holds a high-paying job at the insurance company AON and earns £100,000 annually, takes care of his financial needs.

Adegboyega emphasized that his flamboyant appearance, complete with designer clothes and luxury cars, is entirely funded by her earnings.

The pastor’s immigration woes began when it was discovered that he had overstayed his visitor’s visa, which he entered the UK with in 2005.

Despite multiple attempts to remain in the country on human rights grounds, the UK Tribunal ruled for his deportation back to Nigeria.

The court cited that he had no legal right to remain in the UK after his visa expired and that his appeals had failed to meet the required criteria for residency.

Addressing his choice of lifestyle, the 44-year-old pastor defended his need to showcase wealth and success.

He claimed that his flashy image is designed to motivate young people to pursue legitimate ways of making money, such as entrepreneurship.

“I believe it’s crucial to dress well and drive nice cars so young people can see there are lawful ways to achieve success,” he stated.

Adegboyega further explained that despite holding a first-class law degree from Nigeria, he had willingly given up a potential legal career to serve his community through his church.

“I’ve sacrificed my career to help those who cannot help themselves,” he added.
