Stop harassing us ," You can't be using Cyber Crime Act against us but ask us to keep quiet", Take-It-Back Movement, youths tell Tinubu, IGP, NASS

Youths and some activists, under the aegis of Take-It-Back Movement , on Monday staged a peaceful protest in Ibadan, warning President Bola Tinubu, the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun; and the National Assembly to stop harassing Nigerians with obnoxious laws. 

The movement held their peaceful demonstration at the Iwo Road axis of the state capital with security operatives on standby to ensure no breach of peace.

They carried placards bearing various inscriptions such as - 'Enough is enough' , ' You cannot gag us', ' freedom of speech is a fundamental right' and others.

The Oyo State Coordinator of the movement, Dimeji Salako, who spoke with journalists, charged Tinubu and NASS members on good governance as a condition for them to stop protesting.

Salako said the protest was to repel oppression and intimidation by the government and police.


Salako said: "The government enacted a law called the Cyber crime Act. The act was enacted by the Nigerian Government and the National Assembly to fight crimes around the cyber space and any other cyber related activities like Internet fraud, cyber staking and others. But we have noticed over time that Nigeria Government and Nigeria Police Force have overturned that law to fight, oppress and harass the people as well as silencing dissenting voices like activists, journalists and others. We have come today to say enough is enough. 

"Tinubu and National Assembly cannot turn Nigeria to North Korea ; no man born of women has the right to dictate what we say to us in Nigeria because it is our fundamental human right. There is freedom of speech and expression. President Tinubu and the police cannot beat a child and dictate how the child will cry. 

"If they don't want us to speak against them, they should do the right thing and give us good governance. Nobody will speak against the government if every thing is good".
