The "Take It Back Movement," a human rights group, took to the streets of Lagos to protest against the escalating food prices and high living costs.

Despite warnings from the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade, the protesters voiced their concerns at Ojuelegba under the bridge area, carrying placards with various messages reflecting their grievances about the current economic challenges.

Juwon Sanyaolu, the TIB National Coordinator, emphasized that the protest symbolized the people's resistance against oppression and hardship. Despite police efforts to deter them, the protesters remained steadfast, marching from Yaba Labor House to Maryland. Sanyaolu announced plans to continue the protest, aligning with the NLC's nationwide mass action to combat the hardship inflicted by the ruling elite.

Their demands include the immediate reversal of fuel subsidy removal, the floating of the naira, and other IMF-imposed policies. The protest also saw participation from civil society organizations such as the Joint Action Front and the Coalition for Revolution. Police officers and members of the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps monitored the demonstration.
