The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, bowed to pressure on Monday and directed police top brass to protect intending participants of the planned #EndBadGovernance protest slated for August 1 to 10, 2024. He directed the Deputy Inspectors-General of Police (Operations and Intelligence), the Assistant Inspectors-General of Police (AIGs) in charge of Zonal Police Headquarters, and the Commissioners of Police (CPs) in charge of State Commands across the country to protect protesters.<\/p>\n
IGP was reacting to a request by human rights lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN), who asked him to provide protection for #EndBadGovernance protesters.<\/p>\n
Egbetokun gave the directive in a letter dated 29 July 2024, signed by his Principal Staff Officer, CP Johnson Adenola.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am also to inform you that the Inspector General of Police wishes to have a meeting with you at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters, Abuja, on Tuesday, 30 July 2024, to deliberate further on your request\u201d.<\/p>\n
