Meanwhile, a High Court in Lagos, the home of President Bola Tinubu, issued an order stating that the convergence of protesters within the states should only be at two locations: Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park in Ojota and the Peace Park in Ketu.
The applicants argued that allowing the protest beyond the two locations would cause damage to critical state infrastructure as well as sabotage the economy.
Also, the protesters have presented a 10-point demand to the Federal Government, asking for concrete action addressing hunger, insecurity, and cost of governance, amongst others.
