The Nigerian Federal Government has reportedly placed sponsors of the #EndBadGovernance movement on a watchlist. These persons who are in the diaspora would be arrested immediately they step their legs on Nigerian soil.
This action comes as part of broader efforts to monitor and address activities perceived as a threat to national security. The move has sparked various reactions, with some seeing it as a necessary step for maintaining order, while others view it as an infringement on democratic rights and freedom of expression.
The #EndBadGovernance movement gained prominence in the wake of the #EndSARS protests, which called for an end to police brutality and broader governmental reforms.
The watchlist reportedly includes individuals and organizations believed to be key supporters or financiers of the movement. This development raises concerns about potential crackdowns on activists and civil society organizations advocating for governmental accountability and reforms.
The government maintains that this measure is crucial for ensuring stability and preventing any actions that could lead to unrest or destabilization of the nation. Meanwhile, activists and human rights groups argue that it may lead to increased surveillance and suppression of dissent.
