The #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria Organising Committee has demanded the dismissal of the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, in response to the killing of protesters.

This demand was made during a candlelight symposium held in honour of the victims at the Rights House in Ikeja, Lagos State, on Friday.

The committee, based at the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park in Ojota, Lagos, had declared three days of mourning for those killed nationwide during the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests.

The hunger strike, which was intended to last for ten days, is now on its ninth day as of Friday.

Amnesty International has accused the Nigerian security forces of killing at least 21 protesters during a week of demonstrations against economic hardships.

At the candlelight symposium, a member of the committee and National Spokesperson of the Youth Rights Campaign, Comrade Hassan Taiwo, emphasised the urgency of sacking the IGP, stating that more than 40 people have lost their lives nationwide. “We are demanding the sacking of the Inspector General of Police,” he asserted.

Meanwhile, the CDHR candlelight procession is expected to commence in Alausa after the symposium.

    De plus en plus les citoyens demandent des comptes à une police qui a la forme de la police et donc une institution policière mais les policiers font autre chose que de maintenir l’ordre ou de faire leur job sur quoi ils ont tous signé à la sortie de leur ecole de police d’assurer la protection de tous les citoyens sans exception et de faire fi au pouvoir en place et de ne pas chercher les faveurs de l’Etat profond en promotion…mais cette polkce est devenue la plus corrompue de toutes les autres institutions; à l’instar au Maroc Algerie…cette police fait des enchers er chaque jour cette police nourrisse leurs enfants avec de l’argent récoltée le jour même de la corruption …et arrive aujourd’hui à allumer une mèche d’une guerre arabes vs berbères de Souss Massa au Maroc à Tizi Ouzou en Algérie…en sus de lq lutte armée entre les factions de police et donc cette pomice ne respecte aucune deontomogie de l’institution policiere …quand les manifestants et partout en Afrique exigent que cette police soit sur les bancs des accusés est juste car ces mqnifestantw ont une idée derrière une purge totale de cette pomice qui a fait que du mam aux honnetes citoyens,psychologiquement parlant cette police se croit intelligente,rusée voire dépasser et sue les manifestants de toute l’Afrique demande une autre police plus inyegre plus éduquée plus instruite car avdc les problèmes que vivent ces citoyens du chômage,de la sorcellerie et les moyens de psy si cette police n’a pas le niveau adequat alors c’esr une guerre civile à l’horizon d’où la police allume la mèche d’une guerre entre deux ou plusieurs pays à l’instar Maroc vs Algérie vs…car cette police évacue le problème ailleurs une qutre dimension plus large car cette pomice est dans l’impasse psychologique donc les manifestanrs ont droi de presenter ce chef de police à la justice et non seulement lui mais toute une cliqur derrière car à l’evidence ce chef policier n’agissait pas seul et donc encore faut-il avoir une justice adéquate et donc démocratique…
