The Ogun State High Court, on Wednesday, ruled that the protests must be limited to four designated locations in the state.
Additionally, the protests can only take place between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Justice O. Ogunfowora granted the state government’s application, which was presented by Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice Oluwasina Ogungbade (SAN).
The ruling applies to all protests scheduled to take place from August 1 to August 10, regardless of the slogan used. The judge prohibited the protesters from protesting anywhere in the state except at the MKO Stadium, Abeokuta; Ansar-ud-Deen Comprehensive High School, Ota; Remo Divisional High School, Sagamu; and Dipo Dina Stadium, Ijebu-Ode.
The Attorney-General explained that the 4 locations are across the 4 divisions of the state in the 3 senatorial districts, allowing protesters in those vicinities to conveniently participate in the protests under adequate protection & without infringing on the rights of any non-protesting members of the public.
