Nigerian police storm #EndBadGovernance event in Lagos (Watch)
A large contingent of security personnel, comprising agents from the Department of State Services (DSS) and police officers, has surrounded the office of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) in Ikeja, Lagos State.
The security operatives laid siege to the office known as Rights House, at 43, Adeniyi Jones Avenue, off Oba Akran Avenue, Ikeja.
The event, which is part of the #EndBadGovernance protests movement, aims to pay tribute to individuals who have lost their lives due to poor governance in Nigeria.
Organisers had invited the public to join the solemn gathering. Attendees were requested to wear black mourning attire and bring candles.
The CDHR had earlier called for the reversal of fuel subsidy removal amid the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests in the country.
In a statement released on Sunday, the CDHR criticized the president’s national broadcast for lacking specific timelines for his proposed promises. The organisation argued that the speech focused too much on the government’s perceived achievements, which have yet to positively impact the lives of Nigerians.
“The CDHR charges the Federal Government to give timelines for the fulfillment of the proposed promises to ease the living conditions of Nigerian people.
“The CDHR demands immediate reversal of petroleum fuel subsidy, which has thrown the country into hyperinflationary conditions, and charges the FG to curb all corruptive elements that are associated with it. Also, the hike in electricity tariff should be reversed to return many businesses to production,” they said.
CDHR described the student loan scheme by the government as inadequate in solving education underfunding.
It also demanded that the Federal Government should investigate all human rights violations across the country as the “end bad governance” protest continues, bringing the perpetrators to justice and adequately compensating the victims.
It, however, warned the leaders and the mobilisers of the protests against violence and destruction of public and private properties.
