See previous thread here Omoyele Sowore Organises June 12 Street ProtestJune 12: Group Threatens To 'Resist Any Protest' In Lagos
A group called Team Lagos has urged Lagos residents to shun the protest planned to kick start at Ojota on Saturday, June 12.
This was conveyed in a statement signed by the Director General of the team, Zulu Authority, noting that TEAM LAGOS will resist any protest by any group of people across the state.
The group said their objective is to promote peaceful coexistence and security of lives and properties. They appealed against any protest in Lagos, stressing that they will not allow a repetition of the #EndSARS experience. The EndSARS protest was hijacked by thugs allegedly sponsored by the government, leading to looting of shops and destruction of public properties.
"We are progressives and well-meaning youths and foot soldiers of All Progressives Congress (APC). Our primary objective amongst others is to promote peaceful coexistence and security of lives and properties, inrrespective of tribe, culture or party affiliation. "The people Lagos state have suffered a lot during the #EndSARS protest. We can not fold our hands and allow any form of protest in the state that will be hijacked by unguided and scrupulous miscreants, especially when the country is facing security challenges. We will not allow any form of hardship on the good people of Lagos state.
"Team Lagos will resist any protest from any group or people across the state. Take your protest somewhere else and not Lagos state. Our Lagos must be great and secure," the group said.
SaharaReporters had reported that civil society organisations and human rights activists called for a nationwide protest on June 12, Nigeria’s Democracy Day, against the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
According to various publicity posters, the protest will make 14 critical demands which are: abolish 1999 constitution, end terrorism, end banditry, (Isa) Pantami must go (Minister of Communications and Digital Economy who has expressed sympathy for terrorists), free all detained activists, end insecurity, justice for all EndSARS victims, Free Kogi2 (Two anti-President Muhammadu Buhari protesters – Larry Emmanuel and Victor Anene Udoka – who have been detained in Kogi State), Buhari Must Go, revert electricity tariffs, end ASUP (Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics) strike, revert fuel price, revert party deregistration, and free Nicholas Mbah. http://saharareporters.com/2021/06/11/june-12-group-threatens-resist-any-protest-lagosFirst picture below = Mr Anthony Adeyinka Adeboye (aka Zulu Tripple Authority), the senior special assistant to the Lagos State Governor on sports. https://burujsportsacademy.com/lagos-ssa-on-sports-to-watch-buruj-academy-versus-young-strikers/

BREAKING: NANS suspends June 12 protest, distances self from ‘Buhari-must-go’ campaign
Kayode Oyero 11 June 2021
The National Association of Nigerian Students has suspended its planned June 12 nationwide protest, The PUNCH has learnt. NANS President, Sunday Asefon, made this known in a statement on Friday morning. It was titled, ‘NANS Suspends June 12 Protest Over Concerns About Safety Of Protesters And Fear Of Possible Hijack By Politicians – Comrade Sunday Asefon’.
According to the NANS president, the planned protest was aimed at decrying the insecurity in the country, especially the serial abductions of students. However, Asefon said some politicians with “different agenda” have perfected plans to hijack the protest to “ventilate their political opinions and sentiments”.
He also said the students’ body was not associated with the secessionist campaign or the ‘Buhari-must-go’ campaign slated to hold on Saturday by some politicians and activists.
He said, “Having considered the current security realities and the danger to the lives of our members in case of possible hijack of the planned protest, I in consultation with all the structures of NANS, therefore, announce the suspension of our proposed protest for June 12.
“The suspension of the protest is necessary to avoid a clash of interest and clash with security agencies that are on red alert to protect the nation’s infrastructure from security breaches on the proposed date as a result of many other protests slated for the date.
“We intend to protest for better security and improved welfare for our students, we must therefore not put the life of any of our students at risk to ventilate our grievances.”
Asefon further noted that the protest was not cancelled but postponed, adding that a new date would be announced for the demonstration. https://punchng.com/breaking-nans-suspends-june-12-protest-distances-self-from-buhari-must-go-campaign/President of the National Association of Nigerian Students, Sunday Asefon
