Organisers of the #EndBadGovernance protests have called for the dismissal of the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun over the killing of some demonstrators by security personnel.
The protesters made the demand during a candlelight symposium held in honour of the victims at the Rights House in Ikeja, Lagos State, on Friday.
A member of the committee and National Spokesperson of the Youth Rights Campaign, Comrade Hassan Taiwo, at the candlelight, emphasised the urgency of sacking the Inspector General of Police.
Taiwo hinged the call on the alleged killing of more than 40 people during the nationwide protest to end hunger and hardship.
“We are demanding the sacking of the Inspector General of Police,” he asserted.
The candlelight procession was also expected to commence at Alausa after the symposium.
The hunger strike, which was intended to last for ten days, is now on its ninth day on Friday.
