The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has instructed senior police officers to ensure the protection of participants in the #EndBadGovernance protests set for August 1-10, 2024.
This directive was issued in a letter dated July 29, 2024, and signed by his Principal Staff Officer, CP Johnson Adenola. The order follows a request from human rights lawyer Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN), who sought police protection for the hunger protesters.
Adegboruwa had formally requested police protection in a letter to the IG on July 28, 2024. The letter confirmed that the IG had instructed senior officers to address the lawyer’s request.
