Police Urge Organisers to Cancel April 7 Protest, Call It 'Mischievous'

The Nigeria Police Force has advised the "Take It Back Movement" (TIB) and other organizers to cancel the nationwide protest planned for April 7, 2025, labeling it "ill-timed and mischievous." This date coincides with the newly declared National Police Day, intended to honor the dedication of police officers. The police expressed concern that holding protests on this day could undermine the celebrations and potentially harm the nation's image. They urged organizers to engage in dialogue with appropriate government institutions to address their grievances instead.
