Protesters continue to gather across Nigeria on the fourth day of the #EndBadGovernance protests, which began on Thursday.
Despite calls from political, religious, and traditional leaders to end the demonstrations, the protests have persisted, highlighting the deep-seated frustrations of the Nigerian populace.
On Sunday, President Bola Tinubu addressed the nation in a televised broadcast, urging protesters to end the demonstrations and engage in dialogue with the government.
He condemned the violent protests occurring in some states but notably did not address the reported attacks on peaceful protesters by police and other security agencies.
According to Amnesty International, at least 13 people have died since the protests began, many of them killed by security operatives.
However, the Nigerian police have disputed these figures, creating a contentious narrative around the true impact of the protests.
In Lagos, police have stopped protesters from marching beyond Freedom Park in Ojota.
The situation remains tense as demonstrators demand better governance and economic reforms.
Assistant Commissioner of Police, Paul Okafor, has pleaded with protesters in Lagos to return home and await government intervention.
His appeal comes amid rising tensions and the government’s call for dialogue.
The #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests have drawn attention to the severe economic hardships faced by many Nigerians.
With food inflation at a staggering 40.87% and general inflation persisting, the protests reflect widespread discontent with the government’s policies.
Despite various policy initiatives, the government’s efforts have yet to yield meaningful results, exacerbating the growing unease among citizens.
As the protests continue, the response from both the government and international human rights organizations will be crucial in addressing the underlying issues and ensuring justice for those involved.
