One of the groups organising the proposed nationwide protests, the Take It Back Movement, has described the judgment obtained by the Lagos State Government as an abuse of judicial privilege to stifle citizens’ freedom of association.
In a statement, the Coordinator of the Take It Back Movement, Lagos, ADEKUNLE TAOFEEK, said the state government must bear the cost of moving protesters from several designated areas in the state to venues ordered by the court.
He said some of the agreed designated convergence points for participating citizens are Alausa Secretariat, Lekki Toll Gates, Ikorodu Bus Park, Okota Link Bridge, Lagos State University Campus gates, Iyana Ipaja Underbridge, and Agege Pen Cinema.
TAOFEEK stated that the buses must arrive at the designated areas by 6 am and return by 6 pm to convey the protesters back to their destinations after the rallies and processions.
