Pegasus Reporters Issues on the Wing
“We note those who have spoken out against any form of protest at this critical juncture, fearing enemies of our country may be manipulating the process. We confirm their fears are genuine, as we have credible intelligence on foreign mercenaries’ involvement in this planned protest. The Nigerian police urge all Nigerians to exercise caution and think twice before joining any protest group.”

PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS | JULY 26, 2024
Intelligence reports by the Nigerian police have fingered some foreign interests in the planned nationwide protests scheduled for August 1, 2024, and warned parents and guardians to caution their wards against participation in them as security agencies nationwide will not watch foreigner plunge the country into chaos.
The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun made the revelation while addressing journalists in Abuja on Friday. Egbetokun warned Nigerians to exercise caution and think twice before joining any protest group.
He said, “We have been monitoring development surrounding protest threats. While some groups call for violent protests, emulating Kenya’s recent events, others advocate for peaceful demonstrations.
“However, some individuals promote peaceful protests with violent undertones, raising concerns about their sincerity. We have our history of violent protests in Nigeria, and I don’t believe we have to look to other countries to note the dangers of unchecked demonstrations. We commend patriots who have withdrawn from the protest due to the apparent sinister motives and ignorance of those calling for violence.
“We note those who have spoken out against any form of protest at this critical juncture, fearing enemies of our country may be manipulating the process. We confirm their fears are genuine, as we have credible intelligence on foreign mercenaries’ involvement in this planned protest. The Nigerian police urge all Nigerians to exercise caution and think twice before joining any protest group.”
However, a zoom chat currently trending online suggests that members of a political affiliation in Nigeria with tentacles across the world is also seriously involved in the planned protest. The clip seen by Pegasus Reporters is shared below:
It will be recalled that many prominent Nigerians and organizations like the Nigerian labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress and the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, have dissociated themselves from the plan and urged their members to not participate in them.
