The African Centre for Media & Information Literacy ,AFRICMIL, has expressed sadness over the attacks on journalists covering the #EndBadGovernance protests in some parts of the country.
The group called on the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and other security agencies to maintain law and order.
Despite President Bola Tinubu’s broadcast, the #EndBadGovernance protests that began on August 1, 2024, continue in some states across the country.
In a statement issued by the group’s coordinator, Chido Onumah, the group strongly condemned the violence against journalists and other citizens by the police.
The group said it is their constitutional right to freedom of assembly and expression within the extant laws of the country.
