The Inspector General of Police (IGP), KAYODE EGBETOKUN, has directed the Deputy Inspectors-General of Police, the Assistant Inspectors-General of Police in charge of Zonal Police Headquarters, and the Commissioners of Police in charge of State Commands across the country to protect protesters.

IGP was reacting to a request by Human Rights Lawyer, EBUN-OLU ADEGBORUWA, who asked him to provide protection for #EndBadGovernance protesters.

EGBETOKUN gave the directive in a letter signed by his Principal Staff Officer, JOHNSON ADENOLA.

According to the letter, the police chief instructed senior officers to comply with the senior lawyer’s request.

The IGP also requested to have a meeting with ADEGBORUWA in Abuja to deliberate further on his request.
