He said , “It is a peaceful demonstration; we are marching there to demand the release of the detained persons. We are not afraid of teargas, we are marching to demand the rights of our people.
“We want them to bring the killers of Adogan and Alfa to book.
The protesters also demanded the payment of N500m for damages by the government as requested by Igboho’s lawyer for the destruction of his house and property during the invasion.
