A Kwara State Court has ordered organisers of the August 1, 2024 protest in Kwara State to restrict themselves to the Metropolitan Square in Ilorin, the state’s capital.

Granting an exparte order on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, the court said it agreed with the state’s Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barr. Ibrahim Sulyman that such a protest could degenerate into violence if protesters were freely allowed without restrictions.

The respondents in the case were the Director, State Security Service in Kwara State; Commissioner of Police, Kwara State Command; the Commandant, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp; Take-It-Back Movement; Mr. Buhari Olanrewaju Ahmed; and unknown persons.

“After listening to Senior Advocate of Nigeria Ibrahim Sulyman Esq., Attorney General of Kwara State, the applicant herein and after a careful perusal of the 5 paragraphs affidavit as well as the written address in support of the motion ex-parte, the following orders are hereby granted,” according to the order signed by Chief Magistrate (DCR Litigation) Jibril Bio Salihu.
