Despite caution and advice from the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force, the Take-It-Back-Movement on Monday, April 7, commenced its nationwide protest in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city.
The protest led by TIB was organised in collaboration with several other civil society organisations across the country.
The group said the protest is aimed at drawing the world and leaders’ attention to the alleged misuse of the Cybercrime Act for the harassment and intimidation of Nigerians.
It also said that the nation has been bedevilled by economic hardship which has left citizens living on the edge of life.
Among the protesters seen on the streets of Abuja is a human rights activist and the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore.
The protesters also carried various placards with inscriptions, “Hunger Dey”, ” Let us breathe”, “Stop the repression”.
