He said: “We are demanding the sacking of the Inspector General of Police.

“We’ve just been informed by the police that the Commissioner of Police has directed us not to go to Alausa. Comrades, I propose, if you don’t mind, that we take control of this procession ourselves, rather than giving them the chance to dictate our actions.

“They should not mistake our gentility for cowardice.”

The nationwide protest which is said to be peaceful movement, turned into mayhem in some parts of the country.

Recall that that some government’s properties were looted in Kano, why business activities were also disrupted in Delta and Bayelsa state.
