 August 1: Order soldiers to remain in barracks – Adeyanju writes Chief of Army Staff


Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju on Tuesday, urged the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, to order soldiers to remain in their barracks during the August 1 nationwide protest.

Adeyanju said the measure would prevent a repeat of the EndSARS saga that saw the killing of protesters.

He made the call in a letter addressed to Lagbaja and dated July 30, 2024.

The letter is titled: “Request to Restrict Men of the Nigerian Army to Barracks during the Scheduled 2024 National protest.”

According to Adeyanju: “We have just written to the Chief of Army Staff to ensure soldiers remain in the barracks during the protest to prevent a repeat of the killing of protesters like during EndSARS.

“We write as a pro-human right law firm to draw your attention to the disturbing development of men of the Nigerian Army across the Federal Capital Territory and across other cities in an attempt to suppress the August 1 2024 national protest.

“The task of providing internal security, including protecting protesters during the scheduled protest lies with the Nigeria Police Force, not the Army.

“It’s on this premise we urge you withdraw your men back to the barracks as we do not want a repeat of soldiers killing protesters as we witnessed during the EndSARS.”
