EndBadGovernance: Organizers plan ‘fearless’ protest in October

Organizers of the just concluded EndBadGovernance protests that recently crippled economic activities nationwide are currently planning to stage more demonstrations across the nation in October.

A former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore confirmed the plan to DAILY POST on Saturday.

It should be recalled that Nigerian youths had staged nationwide protests from August 1 to 10 over the prevailing economic situation in the country.

The supposed 10 days peaceful demonstration was, however, hijacked by non-state actors, leading to the unfortunate death of some protesters.

According to reports, 17 persons were reportedly killed in Abuja, Kano, Niger, Borno, Kaduna and Jigawa, while several others were seriously injured after the Nigerian security forces clamped down on the protesters.

No fewer than 1,135 persons were arrested across the country following the violence that erupted during the protest.

In Kano State, hoodlums disguised as protesters reportedly vandalized government assets, including essential documents and looted properties belonging to individuals.

Some of them were also caught flying Russian flags while clamoring for military rule in Nigeria.

In Kano alone, about 873 suspects were arrested by the police and other security agencies.
