The Inspector General of Police, IGP, Kayode Egbetokun has invited a human rights lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa to a meeting in Abuja on Tuesday. Recall that last week, Adegboruwa had written to the police boss to provide police protection for protesters, under the Take It Back Movement.
The IGP, in his response letter dated July 29, 2024, directed senior police officers to attend to the request of the senior lawyer. The police boss's response was conveyed in a letter signed by his Principal Staff Officer, CP Johnson Adenola. The IGP also requested to have a meeting with Adegboruwa in Abuja on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, “to deliberate further” on his request. “...
I am to also inform you that the Inspector General of Police wishes to have a meeting with you at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters, Abuja, on Tuesday, 30th July 2024 to deliberate further on your request,” CP Adenola said. Recall that Nigerian security operatives have warned against violent protests in the country as was done in Kenya. Nigeria's secret police had raised alarm over plans by plotters to cause violence during planned hardship protests.
