The girl who came to Lekki Toll last week to discredit @feminist_co’s funding came with her own security detail—very suspect. The next day, she came again in the morning but we told her we’ll turn off the mic if she caused trouble.
Side note: she shouted out Seyi Tinubu. #EndSARS

Later that same evening, she came back again to speak and @ladytiffs_ & @Rene_noire got mad because it was clear that she was planted to do something. I reckon she was sent back to finish what she started earlier because we’d refused to let her achieve her mission in the morning.

The only reason we let her speak that second morning is that she and her security detail (about 7/8 of them) were beginning to cause a ruckus & draw attention to us and we didn’t want to make it look like we were denying anyone their right to speak in a leaderless protest.

The rule we gave her applied to everyone else: the topic must be #EndSARS and #EndSARS only. Any non-related topic or chant or display, we would have to turn off your mic from the backend and the DJ would have to play music after which you’d be escorted from the stage.

Yesterday, I believe they brought a different person to rile the crowd up. By the time I arrived, I could already see that he had blood on his body from a fight he’d fought earlier. This guy was ungovernable but thankfully, by the time I left, he hadn’t been given any audience.

We are expecting more of such people today and we’ll do our best to hold it down. If/when it gets uncontrollable, we’ll have no choice but to leave for our own safety but in a crowd of thousands, we have to make sure that we control the narrative and stick to #EndSARS

If we don’t do it that way, we run a risk of letting everything fall into chaos. It takes one person to destroy the peace in everything and we’ll try our best not to let that happen. This is a peaceful, faceless protest and we must stick to our mission which is to #EndSARS
