Northern Groups Postpone Insecurity Protest In Abuja

The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG), Abuja, has postponed its protest that was scheduled to hold on Thursday, October 15, 2020.

While speaking with Vanguard on Thursday, the CNG’s protest coordinator said the  postponement was necessary especially after reviewing all that was happening with other protests in different states, especially Lagos and Abuja.

Adamu emphasised the need to properly coordinate the protest in order to achieve the desired goal with minimal casualties.

He said, “I must say here, after reviewing all that is currently happening with protests, especially in Lagos and Abuja, we have obviously seen that there is the need to coordinate these mass actions properly.

“So, we have postponed our protest in Abuja till next Monday. But, the protest will still hold in some states today as planned.”

CNG had earlier threatened to start a nationwide protest on Thursday against the continuous rise in insecurity and other socio-economic problems.
