BREAKING: Armed DSS, Police Operatives Storm #EndBadGovernance Event [PHOTOS]
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, ahead of a public symposium and candlelight procession scheduled to take place on Friday.
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.
