Musician and activist, Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, has averred that peaceful protest remains the right of Nigerians.
The convener of the #OurMumuDonDo movement, stated this via Twitter on Saturday.
He wrote, “I know these animals have turned Nigeria into a Jungle. But peaceful protest is still our human right. Animals can’t dash us human right. Say no to #lekkitollgate reopening.”
Charly Boy’s comment came as #OccupyLekkiTollgate campaigners plan to hold a peaceful demonstration today at the Lekki tollgate in protest against the planned reopening of the toll plaza.
TheNewsGuru recalls that the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry probing alleged killing of #EndSARS protesters by soldiers at the Lekki toll gate, decided to hand over the tollgate back to its operators, Lekki Concession Company, after forensic experts submitted their report on the October 20, 2020 incident.
Four members of the panel including a youth representative, Rinu Oduala, criticized the decision of the panel but the chairman of the panel, retired Justice Doris Okuwobi, and four other members of the panel acceded to LCC’s request to repossess the toll gate.
