Tension rose in Abuja on Thursday as members of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) stormed the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) headquarters to protest the commission’s decision to deregister the council.
The protest, led by NYCN President, Ambassador Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo, kicked off a planned 30-day nationwide demonstration aimed at pushing the CAC to reverse its decision and remove the Registrar-General, Hussaini Ishaq Magaji (SAN).
The angry youths accused Magaji of disobeying a court order, claiming that the deregistration happened even while the case is still before the Court of Appeal.
They carried placards with messages such as “Registrar-General Must Go,” “Respect Court Orders,” and “Deregistration of NYCN is a Security Concern.” The protesters blocked the main gate of the CAC office, singing solidarity songs and demanding justice.
Speaking to journalists, Sukubo said the move by CAC was a clear attack on the rule of law and vowed that the youth would not back down until justice is done.
