 And some Nigerians have staged a protest to express their displeasure over the high cost of living and harsh economic realities across the country, calling on the government to address the hardship to forestall a state of emergency. The protesters were converged on Mokola Ibadon carrying placards with various inscriptions and sounds of agitation say they will peacefully move across some major streets in Ibadon. They appealed to all concerned Nigerians to join the solidarity movement as the people cannot continue to endure what they describe as an unbearable pain. One of the co-ordinators, Miss Quinn Mobolaji, has shown that they have put necessary machinery in place to prevent the protest from being hijacked by unscrupulous elements while reiterating the concern for a better Nigeria. For the government to know that the whole country is hungry. We just need their intervention. We do not want to fight with them. We are not here to cause any problem. We are just here to tell the government our problems. That they should just look into this for us. That they should please look into the problem of the masses. Help us. Have mercy on us. People are hungry. People are dying daily of hunger. Insecurity is killing people. We just need them to help us. They should just help us. They should just look into our case and be of help to Nigerians. That's just all we need. We are not here to fight. We are not here to cause any distress to anybody. We just want to peacefully protect and tell the government what we want. It is our civil rights. They should just help us and give us what we want. Insecurity is killing the nation. Hunger is killing the nation. Corruption is killing the nation. Please, help us. Please, help us. That is just why we are here. We are not here to cause any distress to anybody. We are not here to cause any distress to anybody. We must not allow every other Nigerians to exercise their constitutional duty. Section 39 and 40 empowers every Nigerians to organize a peaceful assembly and to speak about the economic hardship. On this note, this is not today's own. We are starting this. It is just a start. It is a continuous action. But it must not be me. It can be you. It is everybody. Because the problem does only affect only me. Neither are it affects everyone. So on this note, every Nigerians, whether off and abroad anywhere you find yourself, if you have the capacity, organize, we will be there for you. If anybody stops you, we will come for your rescue. It is a duty which we are signing for and we must collectively fight for our liberation. Enough of this hiking or cost of living, 30 square million a day. Why don't quality restores from cost is what they used to live lavishly? Imagine an humanitarian minister who embezzled a lot of billions into a private account. Someone's telling us that there is an effort in Kogi in which they don't have any traitors of it. That shows you how... Today's public relations officer of your state's command, S.T. Adewale Osifaso, who accompanied the protesters, says the police is focused on guaranteeing safety, both for the protesters and other Nigerians, and to ensure other people with ulterior motives will not hijack the protest. At Bodiger Market, Market Women in Solidarity joined the protesters calling on the president, Paul Atenable, led federal government to be responsive in addressing their plight. Like I said earlier on, people have the right to freedom of assembly as it is. But our duty is to ensure that it is not hijacked by unscrupulous elements. And if caution is not taken, which is why we are here, to ensure that we provide the intelligence and of course the physical support to ensure that these elements do not hijack. I mean, we don't want a spark. We understand that, you know, anything could ignite, you know, unnecessary actions here. So we as human beings are also with them to ensure that they are not led into issues that will cause chaos. If this procession is not followed through by our security agents, there will be lots of issues. And that's why we are here, to protect not just the protesters, but as well as live and property, which is what is sacrosanct for us as law enforcement.
