The Federal Government has been asked to pay N1mllion to a Lagos based lawyer Olukoya Ogungbeje, for using the police to disrupt August 5, 2019 #RevolutionNow protest.
The lawyer had sued the Federal Government for N500m, for using security operatives to tear-gas him and other protesters.
Justice Maureen Onyetenu of the Federal High Court in Lagos who awarded the sum in favour of the lawyer, upheld his argument of disruption of the peaceful protest by the Federal Government through the police being “illegal, oppressive, undemocratic and unconstitutional.”
