#EndBadGovt! DSS Mobilizing Angry Nigerians To Protest Against Tinubu? Sowore Drops Bombshell As Police SHOCK VIPs
On Monday, activist Omoyele Sowore lauded the Department of State Services (DSS) for their unintended role in galvanizing Nigerians for the August 1 #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest. His comments came in response to the DSS’ s decision to detain a key protest mobilizer, @Mallam_jabeer.
The incident came to light when an X user, @n6oflife6, posted: ” I just got a call from @Mallam_jabeer that he has been detained by the DSS. This young man is peaceful & has been law- abiding over his protest arrangements. Arresting him before August 1 makes no sense. Efforts are being made to get him released. Nigeria we hail thee. ”
Reacting to this, Sowore tweeted: ” The @OfficialDSSNG is doing a fantastic job mobilizing for the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria revolt. #FreeJabirNow. ”
The planned protest on August 1 is a response to the increasing hardship and suffering that many Nigerians feel under President Bola Tinubu’ s administration. The protest aims to highlight issues such as economic instability and poor governance, pressing the government for immediate reforms.
President Tinubu has urged citizens to postpone the protest, asking for more time to implement policies that he believes will improve the economic situation. Despite his appeal, many Nigerians remain skeptical and determined to proceed with the protest.
In related news, the Nigeria Police Force has reassigned 30 inspectors and other personnel who were previously attached to Very Important Personalities (VIPs). This move is aimed at bolstering the police presence and preparedness for the upcoming protests.
A memo dated July 29, 2024, signed by SP Anas Mohammed of the Department of Operations, highlighted these changes. The memo, with reference number AB: 4087/IMS/DOPS/SO/VOL. 1/443, directed the reassigned officers to report for duty by Thursday, August 1, 2024.
The memo reads, ” Sub. 1: change of posting: The posting of the following officers have been effected/changed WEF Tuesday 30/07/2024 BY 0800HRS; to APC chairman: Inspr Orok Sunday 0803087**** & Inspr Tedei Dezeigha 090561**** to Star Arrival: Inspr Richard Kalayo 0806292**** to Fendoz: Inspr Zeruwa Nwaoba 0703720**** to Olisleek: Inspr Igbo Kizitto 0803193**** This is for your strict compliance, please.
” SUB. 2: Special Duty: In view of the upcoming planned nationwide protest, COMPOL DOPS directs that the following inspectors and rank and file are to report to the office from Thursday 01/08/2024 by 0700Hrs in clean service dress till a stand down order is given. ”
As August 1 approaches, tensions rise, and the nation watches closely to see how events will unfold. The mobilization of security forces indicates the government’ s concern over the scale and impact of the protest.
Meanwhile, activists like Sowore continue to push for a significant turnout, underscoring the deep dissatisfaction among many Nigerians with the current state of governance..
