Nigerians have taken to the streets since August 1 to rail against bad governance. The demonstrations have been themed ’10 Days of Rage’.The protesters are demanding for a lean government, a return of the petrol subsidy regime, food security, fiscal discipline among others. In a post on social media, the group said Adaramoye was “abducted” by the DSS from his residence at around 2am on Monday.President Bola Tinubu’s addressHe had said the protest would continue on Monday, and called on Nigerians to come out in large numbers.
“Many had requested that the President should just address the nation when the protest was being mobilised and when it started to escalate, but most of us did not know that the President would only justify state violence on protesters and journalists while dismissing the demands of the protesters whenever he decides to speak,” he said.
“This, plus the failed attempt to co-opt the progressive and radical language of the protests only shows how much President Tinubu is out of touch with the masses.”
