A nationwide protest led by the Take-It-Back Movement and other civil society organisations has commenced in Abuja.

The demonstration, which kicked off on Monday, April 7, 2025, is aimed at drawing attention to the alleged misuse of the Cybercrime Act, the worsening economic hardship in the country, and what organisers have described as a “state of emergency” in Rivers State.

Protesters gathered in the nation’s capital, wielding placards with various inscriptions such as “Stop the Repression” and “Let Us Breathe,” among others.

Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, was sighted at the protest ground, lending support to the cause.

Omoyele Sowore joins protesters in Abuja as they march against economic hardship and alleged authoritarianism on Monday, April 7, 2025.

In a statement issued on Friday, TIB’s National Coordinator, Juwon Sanyaolu, said the protest was necessary to resist what he called the “increasing authoritarianism” of the government and to demand relief for Nigerians amid biting inflation and insecurity.

At least four United States soldiers have lost their lives in retaliatory strikes by Iran. The US Central Command, CENTCOM, disclosed this in a statement posted on its X account on Monday. The US military emphasized that the identities of the deceased will remain undisclosed until their families have been notified. CENTCOM stated that four US service members were earlier confirmed killed in action, adding that the fourth individual, who sustained serious injuries from Iran’s initial attacks, ultimately succumbed to the wounds. “Major combat operations are ongoing, and we will withhold names for 24 hours post notification of families,” it added.
