#EndBadGovernance protesters threaten to take agitations to Lagos streets

Published

The #EndBadGovernance protesters on Saturday threatened to storm the Lagos streets from Monday to begin a new phase of the ongoing protest if the Federal Government fails to address their demands.

One of the coordinators of the protest, Mr. Hassan Soweto, a member of the Youth Rights Campaign, stated this while addressing the gathering at the Gani Fawehinmi Park in the Ojota area of the state on Saturday.

The Lagos High Court, Ikeja, had during the week restricted all protests in the state to the park.

However, Soweto said the protesters would stop occupying the park and start marching through the streets if their demands were not met by Sunday night.

He said there would be no protest at the park on Sunday and urged residents to go to their places of worship to pray for peace in the land.

Soweto implored the police to check the activities of suspected hoodlums trying to cause problems at the park.
