#EndBadGovernance: Akure residents storm streets in protest

Akure residents in Ondo have taken to the streets as the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protests continue on Monday.
President Bola Tinubu’s nationwide broadcast has not assuaged many aggrieved Nigerians.
An online video on Monday showed a throng of protesters trooping to the streets.
The nationwide protest, which started on August 1, is expected to last 10 days.
Meanwhile, Michael ‘Lenin’ Adaramoye, a mobiliser of the #EndHunger protests in Abuja, has been reportedly arrested in the early hours of Monday by the State Security Service.
Mr Adaramoye, who serves as the national coordinator of the Youth Rights Campaign, was reported around 2:00 a.m., according to Omoyele Sowore, a politician and an activist.
SSS spokesperson Peter Afunanya did not immediately return comments to confirm or deny the arrest.
Mr Adaramoye had on Sunday excoriated President Bola Tinubu’s broadcast for encouraging police brutality against peaceful protesters and “violence and repressions are just attempts to silence and control us, and the propaganda cannot sway or fool us.”
