End Bad Governance Protest: Activists Demand Release of Detainees in Lagos

Organizers of the End Bad Governance protest, which took place in August across Nigeria, are staging a peaceful march in Ikeja, Lagos, to demand the release of their members who remain detained and are currently facing trial. The activists argue that those arrested should not endure harsh penalties for participating in the protests, which were a response to the rising hunger and hardship affecting the population. The march is marked by placards calling for the release of detainees and highlighting issues such as unlawful detention of minors. Activists express concern over the heavy police presence in riot gear, which adds tension to the demonstration. The protest coincides with the anniversary of the killing of Ken Saro-Wiwa and other Ogoni leaders, emphasizing the ongoing struggle for civil rights and environmental justice in Nigeria. The organizers are also submitting a document to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, urging the judiciary to uphold democratic rights and ensure that the court does not become a tool for suppressing dissent.
