Delta Ethnic Nationality Youth Groups Withdraw from National Protest


The Delta State Ethnic Nationality Youth Leaders Forum, consisting various ethnic youth groups in Delta State, has announced their withdrawal from the planned August 1st #EndBadGovernance protest.

The decision was made public during a press conference held on Wednesday in Warri, where the forum’s spokesperson Comr. Eniwake Orogun cited credible intelligence indicating plans by contracted hoodlums to infiltrate the protests.

According to the spokesman, the mission of the contracted hoodlums was to sow chaos, destroy and vandalize public facilities.

The youth leaders forum also exposed plots by criminal elements in the state to infiltrate the protest in vandalizing businesses, looting goods, valuables and properties.

“Unlike the #EndSARS protests, the organizers of the August 1st protest remain unidentified, lacking structured leadership, which raises concerns about its potential to devolve into mob action and enable criminal elements”, the group added.
