As the nationwide hunger protests entered the third day, a human rights lawyer EBUN-OLU ADEGBORUWA has called on Nigerians to suspend the demonstrations immediately.

ADEGBORUWA made the plea in a statement while reacting to the losses recorded during the ongoing demonstrations. He further urged President BOLA TINUBU to directly address the nation and then engage the protesters through their representatives.

It might interest you to know that ADEGBORUWA is one of the lawyers of the Take It Back Movement, one of the groups participating in the ongoing protests.

Expressing concerns over the violence that the protest has escalated into, the human rights lawyer stated that loss of lives was not the goal of the demonstration.

Security operatives shot three protesters dead in Yobe State as they attempted to vandalize food storage facilities owned by some international non-governmental organizations in Potiskum town. Many others were said to have been injured and taken to the hospital for treatment.
