Economic Hardship: Nigerians Ignore Police Warning, Hit Lagos Streets To Protest

A human rights group identified as the “Take It Back Movement” took to the streets of Lagos on Monday to protest against the soaring price of food and the high cost of living in the country.

This protest was held against the warning issued by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade, on Sunday.

According to him, the police are aware of the plan by some people to protest in the state and will ensure that necessary measures are put in place for the safety of the lives and property of Lagosians.

He stressed that nothing would hinder the free flow of traffic or a peaceful environment to let residents carry out their lawful duties.
