Femi Falana and a broad coalition of civil society organisations, trade unions, youth groups, community associations and other Nigerians announce a nationwide protest and mass action on June 12, 2026. The groups say they are responding to worsening insecurity and mounting economic hardship across Nigeria, citing deteriorating living conditions affecting communities nationwide. The plans frame June 12 as a day for coordinated demonstrations by participating groups, with the coalition calling on supporters to take part in the protest.
Across the reports, the stated focus of the protest is consistent: insecurity and economic challenges. While details beyond the announcement—such as specific routes, permit status, or the scale of planned activities—are not provided in the excerpts, the coverage agrees that the mobilisation involves multiple categories of organisations, including faith-based groups and social movements, alongside individuals. The coalition’s declaration is presented as a unified effort to publicly press for change amid ongoing security and economic concerns.
