ENDSARS: Turkish Authorities Deny Nigerians Permission For Protest
Some handful of Nigerians in Turkey had slated to pull a peaceful protest in solidarity and alliance with what is happening back home with dates and venue already fixed for Istanbul and Ankara but an umbrella body in an official statement on her Facebook page signaled all Nigerians in Turkey not to take law into their hands as Authorities have disapprove any of such gathering
The statement from NICOT reads
Dear fellow Nigerians, in the advent of what is going in Nigeria, which has gone global and NICOT has received many calls and messages from Nigerians in diaspora and those who are residing here to stage a protest in solidarity with our youths back home.
NICOT, understand your plight and grievances over the injustices, police brutalities, and bad governance which led to the slogan #endsars, etc. NICOT'S President took it upon himself to have a meeting with the Turkish authority for a permission to stage a protest, but the permission was denied due to the panel code on COVID-19 measure which states that: "Staging a protect or gathering of people in a large group is highly prohibited"
It is unfortunate, that the permission was denied, but you shall be notified of any changes.
Please, be advised and adhere to the information and keep your calm.
Thanks.
NICOT MANAGEMENT.

In a string of tweets, Anonymous confirmed bringing down the bank’s website while alleging that the bank deducted money from the accounts of customers who are in support of the #endsars campaign.
It stated, “Now #endsarsoppression Official website of First Banks Nigeria has been taken #offline. You remove money from users because they support #endsars.
“We #anonymous have taken-down your website in support of #endsars
“You will pay for your actions. you should have expected us!
“Enjoy your server taken down. no money is gone.”
Anonymous, however, said it would restore the website after it “keep it down for some time”.

In a reaction to the allegation, First Bank also tweeted, “We wish to state very clearly that First Bank has not banned any staff from joining the protests and will never do so.
“We have continued to lend our voice to end all forms of brutality including Police, Rape and domestic violence.
“Our position remains that deep-rooted Reforms are a fundamental solution we must embrace.”
Anonymous had hacked the websites of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the Independent National Electoral Commission and the Central bank of Nigeria but restored them.
The #endsars protests have been taking place across major cities in the country with youths demanding an end to police brutality and killings.
Major highways across the country have been blocked thereby grounding economic activities.
