The organizers of the scheduled October 1st nationwide protest have written to the Nigerian Police to seek for adequate security for their members.

In a statement, the organizers noted that in Lagos, the protest will commence at Ikeja under bridge at 7:30am, with participants marching through various streets to raise awareness.

They called on OLANREWAJU ISHOLA, Lagos state commissioner of police, to provide adequate security for participants in line with the Police Establishment Act 2020.

“By this announcement, we inform the Commissioner of Police of our planned October action and remind the Police of their obligation under Section 83 (4) of the Police Establishment Act 2020 to provide adequate security for citizens participating in public meetings, rallies, and protests,” they said.
