Tension In C’River As Lawyers, Students Barricade Ayade’s Office


As the #endsars protest continues across the country, there was tension in Calabar on Monday as lawyers under the aegis of the Concerned Lawyers as well as students from the University of Calabar (UniCal) and the Cross River University of Technology (CRUTECH) stormed and barricaded the Governor’s Office with different demands.

While the lawyers demanded the appointment of substantive chief judge for the state, the students said their protest was an encapsulation of ENDSARS, ASUU crisis and bad governance which had made life difficult for the common man and forced them to remain at home for months now.


The students led by officials of their respective Students Union Governments (SUG) went a step further to barricade both the main entrance and the Governor’s private entrance, thereby practically stopping everyone from going in or out of the premises.

They further gave both the state and the federal governments a 7-day ultimatum to meet their demands or face mass action.

Our Correspondent reported that the Concerned Lawyers kicked off their protest from the Judiciary Headquarters in Calabar and thereafter marched to the Governor’s office to register their rejection of another acting chief judge who was earlier sworn in by the Governorsame Monday.



Spokesperson of the Concerned Lawyers, Effiom Ayi, said the Judiciary was being crippled over state government refusal to swear in substantive chief judge, saying the existing lacuna was uncalled for.

“It has never happened in the history of the state. Cross River has been enmeshed in a totally avoidable bickering and dirty politics as it concerns the Judiciary. We cannot in all sense of responsibility say that after three hundred and eighteen days (318), Cross River State cannot have a chief judge in substantive capacity.

“As at Friday 16th October 2020, over a hundred cases including fundamental rights action filed by citizens cannot be assigned or heard. Letters of Administration and probate cannot be granted, recommendations for appointment of judges, Senior Advocates of Nigeria and notaries public cannot be issued.

“The negative effect and impact of all these on the security of the state, the economy, practice of legal practitioners and the growth of the legal profession is evidently loud. Never in the history of the state has the Judiciary been enmeshed in this totally avoidable bickering and dirty politics as to who should occupy the office of chief judge”, he said.

Similarly, SUG President, UniCal Chapter, Raymond Moses who spoke on behalf of the protesting student, said both the state and federal government had remained insensitive to the plight and future of students, saying apart from the COVID 19 pandemic which forced them back home, the lingering crisis between ASUU and the federal government was destroying the future of youths across the country.

“They are playing games with our education, not interested in our future. There is insecurity and excessive hunger in the land and yet we have government. After seven days from today and they do not do something about these issues, we shall occupy everywhere and there shall mass action across the nation,” Moses stated.

Nigerian Embassy In France Call Police On EndSARS Protesters, Demonstrators Vow To Continue Agitation

The Nigerian Embassy in Paris, France, has called the police on young citizens demanding an end to police brutality and bad governance in Nigeria.

Despite the presence of the French police, the demonstrators, who stormed the embassy at the Victor Hugo area of Paris in large numbers, insisted on seeing the ambassador of Nigeria to explain steps the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari was taking to address the issues raised by protesters across Africa’s most populous country and beyond.

The young Nigerians in the French capital also held prayers and a minute silence in honour of victims of extrajudicial killings by operatives of the now disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigeria Police Force.

On Saturday, the demonstrators had marched on the popular Eiffel Tower in the heart of Paris to press home their demands.

The protesters say they are not only demanding the scrapping of SARS and dissolution of the newly created Special Weapons and Tactics team by the police authorities but also the improvement of governance in Nigeria.

They have called on the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to immediately resign his position for overseeing a failed law enforcement agency.

Civil Servants Stranded As EndSARS Protesters Shut Alausa Secretariat

Youths protesting against police brutality and bad governance in Nigeria have blocked entrances into the Lagos State Secretariat, Alausa.

A civil servant told our correspondent that he was sent back from the gate by the protesters.

Another worker, identified simply as Akin, said some civil servants are currently locked inside several offices.

He noted that many civil servants are also currently stranded, awaiting directives from their bosses on the next line of action.

“I have successfully been allowed to go out after we begged the protesters. We thought they only shut one of the gates. But later realised that all the entrances have been shut. When I got to the gate opposite Alausa Mosque, they were there. I went back to use the one at Adeyemi Bero Auditorium but also found them there.

“They have blocked the one near the Deputy governor’s office since the protest started at the Lagos Assembly because of proximity. Some of my colleagues are currently stranded. Those of us outside are begging the protesters to allow them to come out.”

Another civil servant, who works with the Ministry of Agriculture, said some of his colleagues were sent back from the gate.

“Those sent back already called to give us a situation report. They told me the gates have been shut but the protesters are not many yet,” he said.

The PUNCH gathered that the protesters have also blocked major roads at Alausa and its environs, including the Governor’s road.

An official of the Lagos Internal Revenue told our correspondent that his colleagues found it difficult to get to work.

“I had to trek long distances to get here. They blocked the road from Coca-Cola, Abiola Garden, and Allen road,” he said on the telephone.
