Lagos Youths Oppose August Hunger Protest, Cite Political Motives
Lagos Indigenous Youth Network (LIYN) has condemned the planned hunger protest from August 1 to 10, 2024, fearing it may lead to chaos similar to the #EndSARS events.
At a press conference in Ikeja, youth leaders asserted that the protest is politically driven rather than for public interest.
Mobolaji Ogunlende, speaking for LIYN, cited intelligence reports suggesting political motives behind the protest. “We are not against citizens constructively engaging their leaders.
However, when such engagement turns into a platform for tension and warmongering, aimed at settling political scores, it is time to exercise caution,” Ogunlende said.
The group urged Lagosians, especially parents, to discourage participation in the protest.
They affirmed their support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the state government’s efforts to maintain peace and address grievances. “We say no to any protest disguised as supporting the people but aimed at causing destruction,” Ogunlende concluded.
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,”
