The #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria Organising Committee has urgently called for the dismissal of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun. This demand was made during a candlelight symposium held in honor of the victims at the Rights House in Ikeja, Lagos State, on Friday. The committee, based at the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park in Ojota, Lagos, had previously declared three days of mourning for those killed nationwide during the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests.

Amnesty International has accused Nigerian security forces of killing at least 21 protesters during a week of demonstrations against economic hardships. At the candlelight symposium, Comrade Hassan Taiwo, National Spokesperson of the Youth Rights Campaign, emphasized the urgency of sacking the IGP, stating that more than 40 people have lost their lives nationwide. Meanwhile, the CDHR candlelight procession is expected to commence in Alausa after the symposium.
