As the countdown to the “Grazing Reserves” protest scheduled for tomorrow 9:00 am, begins, security agencies in Plateau have invited the leader of the protest – Mr. Dachung Bagos to attend a closed door session with them at 8:00am (ahead of the protest).

The invite sent by the commissioner of police of Plateau state Mr. Adekunle Oladunjoke, requested that Mr Dachung Bagos attends a meeting with security agents, so that  modalities of the protest to be fashioned out etc.

Several of the protest organisers have expressed apprehension at the invitation, saying Hon Bagos may be detained by the police longer than necessary, as a ploy to jeopardize the protest which should commence at 9:00am.

However, at this stage, no evidence of such a plan by the police exists and at the time of filling this report, Mr. Bagos was preparing to attend the invitation tomorrow at 8:00 am.
