Senate President Godswill Akpabio has accused the candidates who lost out in the 2023 presidential election of sponsoring the planned nationwide protest.

He spoke on Monday at the State House, Abuja, after he witnessed President Bola Tinubu’s signing of the new minimum wage bill into law.

Some individuals & organisations in the country have planned a nationwide protest over the hardship occasioned by the economic policies of the Tinubu administration.

The senate president however, said those who lost the election thought they could use the protest to claim the mandate through the back door.

People who probably do not have their fortunes in the 2023 election are thinking they can come through the back door & that will amount to anarchy,” Mr Akpabio said.

He cautioned the intended protesters to ignore damaging properties. “Any destruction of any property will cost Nigeria money. We don’t have the money. Instead let’s put the money into developing you & developing your environs instead of going to rebuild”.

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has directed police top brass to protect intending participants of the planned #EndBadGovernance protest slated for August 1 to 10, 2024.

This was contained in a letter by the IGP to the request of human rights lawyer Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa. Adegboruwa, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), had on July 26, 2024, written the IGP to provide police coverage for protesters. The senior lawyer had written the IGP on behalf of the Take It Back Movement, one of the groups planning the #EndBadGovernance protest in August.

The IGP, in his response letter dated July 29, 2024, directed senior police officers to attend to the request of the senior lawyer. Egbetokun’s response was signed by his Principal Staff Officer, CP Johnson Adenola.

The IGP also requested to have a meeting with Adegboruwa in Abuja on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, “to deliberate further” on his request.

The Plateau State Police Command has arrested one Sulaiman Yakubu for inciting v+olence and calling on residents to b¥rn down police stations, military barracks & business areas in the state during the nationwide protest planned for August 1st.

In a viral TikTok video, Yakubu called residents in the state to “test the ground” on Monday before Thursday. He stated that ”Guys, I think on Monday, we should start burning the u§eless filling stations in Jos North, Jos South & Jos East. Then, on the following day, we should b¥rn the Yankwalli & Terminus markets & the rest. We should get them down to ashes.

Maybe on the third day, if they k+ll one of our men, we should start going to each division nearest to our side & start b¥rning down the u§eless police stations, soldiers’ barracks.

On the 4th day, if we don’t get the response we want, we should start going to those bakeries where they make bread & b¥rn them. If there is no change, on the 5th day, we should start attacking these big men at Rayfield area.

Protest: Let My Father Rule For 3 Years Before You Complain, Tinubu’s Daughter Warns Market Women

Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, daughter of President Bola Tinubu, has told market women in Dosumu Market, Lagos, to warn their children not to join the August 1 protest against economic hardship under his father’s watch.

“Say no to protest,” Mrs Tinubu-Ojo, the Iyaloja General of Lagos, declared, posting a video in which she spoke with market women, urging them to warn their children not to join the August 1 protests.

In the video, Mrs Tinubu-Ojo said, “Let’s talk to our children. There is nothing like protest in Lagos. Lagos government is doing us well.

“The government at the centre (led by her father Mr Tinubu) just assumed office. Before you say a government is not doing well, let it last three years at least.”

Mrs Tinubu-Ojo lamented how EndSARS, a historic protest led by youth against years of extrajudicial killings and extortion by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigerian Police Force, turned violent, destroying properties when thugs attacked protesters and Nigerian soldiers opened fire on the demonstrators.

“Prevention is better than treatment. We will not suffer loss of lives. Let everyone warn her children,” Mrs Tinubu-Ojo warned.

The president’s daughter’s warning comes as another pro-Tinubu government pushback as citizens mobilise for nationwide demonstrations due to economic hardship worsened by soaring food prices.

Since the protest was announced, Mr Tinubu has met with leaders of religious groups, traditional rulers, governors, and security agencies.

After meeting with Mr Tinubu, religious leaders and monarchs joined in opposing the protests, while security agencies continued to arrest citizens supporting or organising such activities.

The Nigerian Army has reportedly dismissed 6 soldiers from its service for allegedly fleeing from the scene of a Boko Haram att@ck.

SaharaReporters reports that the soldiers attached to the counterinsurgency operation in the North-East, known as Operation Lafiya Dole were said to have fled from the scene of a Boko Haram att@ck around Damboa, a community in Borno during the month.

It was gathered that over 10 soldiers were k+lled during the att@ck. A military source who spoke to SaharaReporters said the 6 soldiers were dismissed for withdrawing from the w@r front.

The source described the puni$hment meted out on his colleagues as not right, arguing that they left the battlefield after running out of ammunition during the fi¥ht with the t£rrorists.

According to the source, sufficient arms & ammunition were not provided for them to fi¥ht Boko Haram t£rrorists; therefore, they soon ran out of ammunition. He also blamed the death of those k+lled on poor firepower & inadequate equipment to combat the insurgents.
