A socio-political group, The Collective Movement (TCM), has called for measures to prevent hoodlums from hijacking the planned nationwide protest.
TheNewsZeniths reports that the advice is coming ahead of the planned nationwide protest against `bad governance, hunger and hardship’.
Mrs Esther Opaluwah, TCM’s National Woman Leader, gave the advice in a statement emailed to TheNewsZenith on Tuesday in Lagos.
Opaluwah said both the government and the protest organisers should prevent violence and destruction while the protest lasts.
In the statement by TCM Media Director, Mazi Ndubuisi Nwachukwu, the women leader said security agencies should guard the activities of the protesters from the beginning.
She appealed to the security agencies to protect lives and property by ensuring the protest was peaceful.
