The Campaign for Democratic and Workers’ Rights, CDWR, has called for the unconditional release of some activists arrested by the Department of State Service, DSS at the nationwide protests. DAILY POST reports that some activists, who are among the organisers of the ongoing end bad governance protests have been arrested by DSS.
The arrested activists include Michael Adaramoye and Babatunde Oluajo. The group in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday and signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Bosah Chinedu, commiserated with the families of those who lost their kinsmen during the protests. The group said it considers President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s broadcast speech of Sunday August 4, 2024 as a display of arrogance and insensitivity towards the harrowing plight and hardship of Nigerians.
'CDWR at this moment demands the reversal of all anti-people policies including the reversal of petroleum prices to pre-May 2023 level; reversal of electricity tariff to pre-May 2023 rate; an end to the floating and devaluation of the Naira; an end to all neo-liberal and anti-people policies such as privatisation and deregulation of the power and oil and gas sectors; for free and quality education and healthcare; respect for democratic rights to freedom of protest and dissent etc.
