Some organisers of the #EndBadGovernance movement in Lagos State, including comrade Hassan Taiwo Soweto, Oloye Adeniji Adeboyega, Aishat omolara, Isaac Obasi and others, have been invited for a meeting with the commissioner of police, Lagos State.
The invitation it was gathered is not unconnected with the planned October 1, protest being organized by the#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria, Lagos state, group
In a statement released to the media today, Friday 27, September, the invited members said they would honour the invitation but called on Nigerians to be high alert in case the Police authority decides to be funny with any ulterior motive.
But they vowed not to succumb to any sort of intimidation, revealing that they will honour the invitation in company with their lawyers.
A statement by the group reads in part “We recieved invitation from the office of the Commissioner of Police Lagos State Command earlier today to attend a so-called stakeholders meeting scheduled for 4pm today.
“The meeting is scheduled to hold at the Lagos State Police Command.
“The invitation itself was late and for many, it came via phone calls rather than a written letter. Despite this, we have been reliably advised by our lawyers to honour it.
“Our lawyers have also decided to accompany us to the meeting.
“Obviously, the invitation is connected to our resolve to march out peacefully in protest on October 1st 2024 in continuation of our struggle against hunger, hardship and misery created by President Tinubu’s anti-poor policies.
“The Nigerian people should be rest assured that no intimidation will stop the October 1st protest.
“Not even any threat of arrest. Protest is a fundamental right and we shall not concede it whatever happens.
“We are by this statement notifying all members of the movement and the general public about the invitation and to encourage everyone to be on high alert should the police have any ulterior motive. Dare to struggle, dare to win”.
