October 1: Court restricts protesters to four venues in Ogun

A High Court sitting in Abeokuta, Ogun State, has restricted members of the #FearlessInOctober protest groups to four venues in the state.

The venues are the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta, Gateway International Stadium in Sagamu, Dipo Dina Stadium in Ijebu Ode, and Ansar-Ud-Deen Comprehensive High School in Ota.

DAILY POST reports that the organisers of the

#FearlessOctober1 protest had declared that the police, Department of State Services, and the military would not stop them from embarking on the demonstration.

They maintained that the purpose of the demonstration is to protest the hardship occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy and the devaluation of the naira.

However, the court presided over by Justice Tajudeen A. Okunsokan, gave the order on Monday, following an application brought by the Attorney-General of Ogun State in suit No. AB/667/2024, against Messrs. Afolabi Adeboye, Ifemosu Michael, and Lekan Soneye (for themselves and members of the #FearlessInOctober protests); Bestman Okereafor (on behalf of the Progressive Students Movement); Francis Adeyanju (on behalf of the National Association of Nigerian Students); and Thomas Kehinde (on behalf of the National Association of Ogun Students) as respondents.

Other respondents listed in the suit are Yinka Folarin (on behalf of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights), Nicholas Eko (on behalf of the Socialist Democratic Movement), Koyejo Morenikeji, persons unknown, and the Commissioner of Police, Ogun State.

By that order, the protesters are mandated not to converge in any part of the state except the designated venues.

The court also directed the Commissioner of Police to ensure the enforcement of the ruling, which shall run for seven days as provided under Order 39 of the High Court of Ogun State (Civil Procedure) Rules 2014.
