The operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS. Has arrested one of the leaders of the ongoing Endbadgovernance protests. Whose name is Micheal Lenin. At the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

The Director of Mobilisation. Take It Back Movement, Damilare Adenola. Said Lenin’s house was raided by the DSS. And he alleged that the DSS also assaulted him during his arrest.

Adenola said, “ Lenin has been arrested by the DSS. And he was picked up during a raid on his house around 2am.”

“He was arrested and tortured in the presence of his family. And we are demanding his immediate and unconditional release.“

Lenin. Is the National Coordinator, of the Youth Rights Campaign. He was one of the organisers who spoke at a press briefing. And he expressed his disappointment with President Bola Tinubu’s broadcast on Sunday.

At the briefing. he said the President’s broadcast has demonstrated that he is out of touch with reality in the country.

He said, “We wish to express our sadness and deep disappointment. This is at the latest broadcast by President Tinubu. Because this is his first address to the nation on the #EndBadGovernance protests.”

And it’s coming after three weeks since Nigerians started mobilising to take to the streets. So, after scores of dead protesters and assaulted journalists from the first three days of the protests. The President decided to address the nation.”

“ Many had requested that the President should just address the nation. This was when the protest was being mobilised. And when it started to escalate. But most of us did not know. That the President would only justify state violence on protesters and journalists. And that he would dismisss the demands of the protesters, when he decides to speak.”

“This. Plus the failed attempt to co-opt the progressive. And radical language of the protests. Only shows how much President Tinubu is out of touch with the masses.“

Lenin. Said the protest would continue massively on Monday. And that, his calling on the citizens to come out in large numbers.

He said, “We, therefore, call on Nigerians to come out in large numbers. To continue these protests on Monday. Until our demands are met. Because the two-pronged approach of violence and propaganda has failed.”

“The violence and repressions are just attempts to silence and control us. But the propaganda cannot sway or fool us.”
