#EndBadGovernance protesters in Lagos have announced plans to escalate the ongoing protests by marching through the streets starting Monday if the government fails to meet their demands by Sunday night.
Addressing the crowd at Gani Fawehinmi Park on Saturday, Hassan Soweto, a coordinator and member of the Youth Rights Campaign, warned that protesters would leave the park in Ojota and begin marching through the streets, despite a court order restricting demonstrations to the park.
Soweto emphasized that there would be no protest at the park on Sunday, encouraging residents to attend their places of worship to pray for peace in the country.
He also urged the police to monitor and prevent any disruptive activities by suspected hoodlums at the park.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that the police had cordoned off the service lane on Ikorodu Road for the protesters, while the BRT lane and two other lanes remained open for motorists.
Additionally, commercial activities in Ojota and surrounding areas have resumed, with more shops reopening for business.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Adegoke Fayoade, continued to lead security efforts to protect the protesters for the third consecutive day.
According to SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the Command’s spokesperson, no arrests were made during Friday’s protests.
