On October 5, 2024, a group of Nigerian and foreign students protested outside the Nigerian High Commission in London, demanding President Bola Tinubu reverse his “anti-poor policies” and release detained #EndBadGovernance protesters. Organized by the socialist group ‘Fight for Socialism,’ the demonstrators displayed placards reading “Drop all charges and release protesters” and “Reverse all anti-poor policies.”
Chants like “When I say Tinubu, you say thief” echoed as protesters expressed their discontent with the government’s treatment of those arrested during recent protests. The gathering highlighted a broader call for change, emphasizing the need to address the issues facing Nigeria’s most vulnerable citizens.
