“We have consulted and consolidated which yielded no desirable results in seeking the freedom of Mohammed, hence, the protest shall commence as follows: Monday, December 5, 2022, nationwide.

“Please note that our demonstration shall continue until he is released unconditionally.

“The protest is against the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba and wife of the president, Aisha Mohammed Buhari,” the statement said.
