The Take It Back Movement (TIB) has said that the Nigeria Police Force does not have the power to ban Nigerians from carrying out protests to express their grievances. The Movement said this on Monday while reacting to reports that the police had banned all forms of protest in Kano State.
Oloye Sope, one of the victims who were forcibly evicted and their houses demolished in Oworonshoki community in the Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos State by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu's administration, has lamented how his only son died during the demolition exercise. Speaking in a one-minute 29-second video recorded by the Take It Back Movement, Oloye lamented that the state government did not only demolish his house and render him homeless but the demolition took away his only son, Segun from him.
Some civil society organisations, the Take It Back Movement and Youth Rights Campaign, have knocked the Lagos State government over the arrest of some street hawkers.
