Take It Back Movement Seeks Eagle Square for August Protest
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In preparation for the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protest scheduled from August 1 to August 10, 2024, the Take It Back movement has formally requested the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, for permission to use Eagle Square.

The request was communicated through a letter signed by Damilare Adenola, the group’s Director of Mobilisation. The letter outlined several demands, including the provision of a 24-hour power supply, toilet facilities, water, and security to ensure the comfort and safety of the participants who will be camping at Eagle Square. The group also requested the removal of the outer wire mesh barrier facing the Aso Rock Villa to facilitate easier access to the Presidential Villa during the protest.

Police Preparations

In anticipation of the protest, the FCT police have deployed 4,200 officers across the nation’s capital. Additionally, explosive ordnance device experts have been stationed at various strategic locations to ensure public safety and protect the protesters.

According to a statement by police spokesperson Josephine Adeh, the deployment aims to maintain public safety and prevent the protest from being hijacked by non-state actors. Adeh also noted that, in collaboration with other security agencies, the police will conduct raids on identified black spots, uncompleted buildings, and shanties, along with stop-and-search operations.

Government and Police Role

While citizens have the right to hold peaceful protests as a means to address national hardships, there are concerns about the potential for the protest to escalate. The government and police forces are encouraged to support the protesters and ensure public order is maintained. This approach will not only fulfill the government’s duty to its citizens but also uphold their right to express dissent and advocate for changes in government policies.

However, under Nyesom Wike’s leadership, there has been significant disapproval of the protest, with warnings against demonstrations in the capital.

There is uncertainty about whether he will approve the request to use Eagle Square. The key question remains: Will Wike deny Nigerians their right to peaceful protest, or will he grant the movement’s request?
