Some concerned students from Kiribo town in Ese Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State have dissociated themselves from the planned Nnamdi Kanu protest reportedly championed by their brother, Omoyele Sowore, and scheduled for Monday, October 20.
In a statement issued on Sunday in Akure by their coordinator, Comrade Biodun Ogunwuyi, the group appealed to Sowore to call off the planned protest and allow the law to take its course.
The students expressed concern that the demonstration “will do no one any good,” warning that it could lead to violence, destruction, and unnecessary hardship for innocent citizens.
“Unknown individuals may hijack the protest to unleash mayhem on the public, which could result in casualties and loss of property,” the statement read.
They emphasised that the outcome of such unrest could bring pain and sorrow to many families, urging Sowore to act with caution and responsibility.
The group further advised the activist to respect the court’s judgement, which reportedly barred any protest on Monday, and to heed the warnings of the police and other security agencies.
“We, the students of Kiribo, dissociate ourselves completely from this planned protest and appeal to our brother to reconsider his decision in the interest of peace and public safety.”
