A human rights lawyer, FEMI FALANA has cautioned the Federal Government against threatening the organizers of a planned nationwide protest over the harsh economic climate in the country.

The protest, being scheduled to hold across the country between August 1 to 10, is said to be a way of registering the impact of food scarcity and the inability to afford common needs.

While the Federal Government and security agencies have cautioned against the demonstrations, FALANA says intimadation won’t aid the shelving of the protest.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria asked the Federal Government to rather identify the leaders of the planned protest and dialogue with them instead of threats.
