Thousands of Nigerians gathered on the streets of Ibadan, Oyo State and Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Wednesday morning, continuing the nationwide protests against poor governance and economic hardship that have been sweeping the country.

In a series of posts made by the Take-It-Back Movement, the large crowds of demonstrators were seen in both cities, demanding action from the government to address the country’s pressing issues.

The protests, which have been ongoing for the past seven days, show no signs of slowing down as citizens continue to voice their discontent with the current state of affairs.

In Ibadan, the protesters were seen at Agbowo-UI area of the town, while in PortHarcourt, they were seen storming major streets in the South-South state.

#EndBadGovernaceInNigerian.”

Meanwhile, Amnesty International, a global human rights organisation, had reported that over 1000 Nigerians who participated in a nationwide protest against worsening hunger and misgovernance are currently being held in prison custody across the country.

The organisation criticised the administration of President Bola Tinubu for responding to the peaceful protests with a crackdown, rather than addressing the economic issues that are exacerbating hunger and harming families.

According to the Amnesty International, at least 632 protesters are being held in Kano State, while over 109 are being detained in Sokoto prison custody.

The organisation expressed concerns over the mass arrests and called for a more constructive approach to addressing the protesters’ grievances.
