Protesters, on Monday returned to the Gani Fawehinmi Park, Ojota in Lagos, for the fifth day, denied that they’d suspended the protest.
TheNewsZenith reports that they returned to the park after suspected hoodlums attacked them on Sunday while praying for the nation.
Thereafter, one of the conveners led the protesters into what they called “Congress by Protesters”, where he briefed the gathering and newsmen on the event nationwide.
Soweto denied they had suspended the protest as claimed by some people whom the organisers described as agents to destabilise the protest.
He said the protest would continue because President Bola Tinubu failed to address their demands, particularly the reduction in fuel, electricity and food prices.
According to him, the youths are only fighting for the general public interest. He stressed that they should not be seen as agents against the state.
