Sv: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Nigerians Divided Within Identical Demographics as Protesters Agst Govt Are Beaten Up by Thugs as Police Watch

​Freedom to demonstrate is enshrined in the constitution, but permit must be sought from the police authority so as to prevent rowdiness and public disorder. So, did Mr. Adeyanju and others obtain the permission of the police authority before embarking on protest?

Ämne: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Nigerians Divided Within Identical Demographics as Protesters Agst Govt Are Beaten Up by Thugs as Police Watch
 
see post and rich thread below 

The plan was a peaceful match to the Office of the National Human Rights Commission located at No 19 Aguiyi Ironsi street Maitama Abuja, by the Concerned Nigeria Group led by Deji Adeyanju.

But what was meant to be a peaceful protest by the group, aimed at drawing to the attention of the commission the continued incarceration of Nigerians even against court orders, turned into a showdown as thugs attacked the protesters, while the men of the Nigerian police looked on.

A situation which resulted in some casualties, prominent among them the convener of the group Mr. Deji Adeyanju who sustained serious injuries.

This is not the first time peaceful protest against the actions of the Government, was met by a counter protest by some hired thugs.

With the level of hunger in the land, hiring counter protesters seems a lucrative business to many, as there are many available men and women ready to do the bidding of the man with enough money to buy their conscience.

For a country like ours where our democracy is continually threatened, there is need to always hold government to account, and this should be done without any form of intimidation.

Peaceful gathering/association is a right enshrined in the constitution.

"The price for freedom is eternal vigilance"

Nigerians should be resolute in their demand for a better country, for evil thrives when good people elect to do nothing.

    Kingsley Akujobi But who is on the right? Deji Adeyanju whether or not was encouraged to protest is doing the society a service because he is asking for the right thing be done which is Government should obey court orders what are those who sponsored thugs to attack peaceful protesters fighting for?? Continuous disobedience to the rule of law??? Well this is a small price to pay for prominence and becoming a National figure! Kudos to deji' s bravery heel fast for tomorrow we march again! Let them come!
    • Dozie Maduako
      Dozie Maduako Kingsley Akujobi I know they would have ignored formally informing the police hence they all know law that allows protest in democracy without getting clearance from the police. May be the red flag would have been flown to show danger in the making.

    The world is watching.
