#EndBadGovernance protesters in Lagos say they will storm the streets from Monday to begin a new phase of the ongoing protest if the government does not meet their demands.
One of the protest coordinators, Hassan Soweto, a member of the Youth Rights Campaign, said this while addressing the gathering at the Gani Fawehinmi Park on Saturday.
A court order obtained before the nationwide action had restricted all protests in Lagos to the park.
The protesters defy the court order if they carry out their threat.
Mr Soweto said protesters would cease occupying the park in Ojota and march through the streets if their demands were unmet by Sunday night.
The activist said they had since been restricted to the park, adding that they would march to the Alausa Secretariat if the government did not act.
He said there would be no protest at the park on Sunday, urging residents to go to their places of worship to pray for peace in the land.
Mr Soweto called on the police to check the activities of suspected hoodlums trying to cause problems at the park.
The police barricaded the service lane on Ikorodu Road for the protesters, leaving the BRT lane and two other lanes for motorists.
It also observed that more vehicles were on the road on Saturday compared to the low vehicular traffic on Thursday and Friday.
Commercial activities have picked up in Ojota and environs as more shops opened for business.
The police commissioner in Lagos, Adegoke Fayoade, was still on the ground, leading other security agents to protect the protesters for the third day.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said no protester was arrested on Friday.
