Proposed nationwide protests are ill-advised and should be jettisoned — IGP warns.
The inspector-general of police, Kayode Egbetokun, has warned that the proposed nationwide protest billed for August 1 is ill-advised and should be jettisoned.
Speaking at a meeting with commissioners of police in Abuja, on Tuesday, July 23, he said: “Some groups of people, self-appointed crusaders and influencers, have been strategising and mobilizing potential protesters to unleash terror in the land under the guise of replicating the recent Kenya protests.
While the force acknowledges the right to peaceful protest as enshrined in our constitution, we must ensure that these protests do not snowball into vi%lence or disorder. As a nation, we have had more than our fair share of vi%lent protests, with rather dastardly consequences.
The last protest led to one-tenth destruction of public assets, including police stations, courts, and transport infrastructure, and the loss of several lives.

Actress Doris Ogala doubles down on claims against Pastor Chris Okafor, insists on compensation or marriage
Actress Doris Ogala has intensified her allegations against Pastor Chris Okafor, insisting she was in a long-term relationship with him from 2017 and was promised marriage.
Speaking emotionally, Doris claimed she supported the pastor privately, bought gifts for his children, and stayed loyal for years, only to be abandoned when he decided to marry someone else.
She accused those online, including Dee One, of taking money to do “damage control,” stressing that her demands are legal, not blackmail. According to her, she is seeking compensation for emotional damage, career loss, and broken promises, adding that her lawyer is already preparing formal demands.
Doris also admitted to phone-based intimacy during her troubled marriage but denied any physical affair at the time. She maintained she has evidence to back her claims and alleged she is not the only woman Pastor Chris promised marriage.
“I’m not backing down. This is my right,” she said, warning that she is ready to speak fully if pushed further.
