Security operatives, Monday, stopped a fuel subsidy removal protest by Civil Liberties Organisation in Bayelsa State from holding on the streets of Yenagoa the Bayelsa State
The rally, billed to have commence at 7:00 am at the Opolo junction, in the heart of the capital city and terminate at the Ovom Government House, it was learnt failed to hold as the police authorities after agreeing to the protest later kicked against it over alleged security report that it could be hijacked by hoodlums to breach the existing peace in the state.
Armed policemen backed by armoured personnel carrier were deployed to the Opolo axis, the supposed take off point of the protest rally, which was dramatically shunned by residents.
The development however prompted the civil society groups’ leaders to change tactics and converged at the Nigeria Union of Journalists secretariat along Azikoro road, Ekeki where they addressed the press on the raging fuel subsidy removal saga and need for the Federal Goovernment to revert to old regime.
Indication that the proposed street rally was doomed to fail emerged Sunday at the end of the joint meeting of the NLC and TUC where both agreed not to embark on street protest and demonstration in order to avoid the hijacking of the proces by miscreants due to security situation in the Niger Delta in general and Bayelsa in particular.
- A good number of PR Hospitality agencies london (ours among them, but other smaller agencies too) have spent the last few years building a team with this specialized skillset. Saying agencies "may not offer" this is like saying traditional agencies may not do digital builds - some don't, but many do.
