It’s essential to acknowledge that news production incurs expenses, and we take pride in never placing our stories behind a prohibitive paywall.Protesters must demonstrate peacefully, using placards and other materials to convey their grievances without destroying public properties or blocking roads excessively, Festus Ogun, a Lagos-based human rights lawyer, told PREMIUM TIMES.
According to him, a clash between two opposing protest groups and disobedience of the protest leadership could drift the demonstration into violence.A coalition of 37 civil society organisations including the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development , in a statement dated 29 July, also warned the government that any attempt to suppress the protests through “intimidation, excessive use of force, or unjust legal actions are unacceptable and counterproductive.
