Nigerian Senator Says Protesters Will Only Submit Details to Police After Being Hypnotized or Charmed
A planned protest in Nigeria, scheduled to take place from August 1 to 10, has sparked controversy after the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, ordered the organizers to submit their details to the commissioners of police in their respective states. However, former Nigerian Senator and activist, Shehu Sani, has taken a unique stance on the matter.
In a statement on his X account, Sani claimed that the only way protesters will submit their details to the police is when they have been hypnotized or charmed by a priest or native doctor. This comment has raised eyebrows, with many questioning the legitimacy of the protest and the motivations behind Sani’s statement.
The planned protest, which aims to highlight the worsening economic hardship in Nigeria, has been a subject of debate in the country’s public space. The organizers have requested that the police and Department of State Services (DSS) provide security for the event, but it remains to be seen whether this will happen.
Sani, who led protests during the Military era in Nigeria, has a history of activism and has been vocal on various social and political issues. His comments on the planned protest have sparked a heated debate, with many Nigerians taking to social media to express their opinions on the matter.
The situation is still unfolding, and it remains to be seen how the protest will proceed and what the outcome will be. One thing is certain, however – the controversy surrounding the planned protest has brought attention to the economic struggles faced by many Nigerians and the need for meaningful change.
