Embrace Dialogue With Govt, Suspend Protests, Adegboruwa Urges Youths

As the nationwide protests enter the 2nd day, human rights lawyer & SAN Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa has asked youths to suspend the demonstrations & embrace dialogue with the government

In a statement on Friday, Adegboruwa said the purpose of the protest was defeated when some “sponsored agents” hijacked the demonstration

“Though the intention of the organisers was to achieve peaceful & well-coordinated protests, it would seem that 5th columnists & some angry persons infiltrated the ranks of the protesters to derail their laudable mission, he said in a statement on Friday

I appeal to the protesters to withdraw themselves from their various protest grounds & to suspend the protests immediately & indefinitely, to give room for meaningful dialogue & engagement with the government

“Given that the protests were said to have been hijacked by sponsored agents, it is necessary to avoid further losses & casualties. The organisers of the protests & their representatives should embrace dialogue with the government,” he said
