Falana’s call comes amid the planned protest by the NLC over the hardship faced by Nigerians.
The NLC will on Tuesday February 27 and Wednesday, February 28 protest following the hike in the prices of goods and services due to the removal of fuel subsidy and the free fall of the naira, among others.
The human rights lawyer in a letter dated February 24 and addressed to the Attorney General of the Federation said Section 83 subsection 4 of the Police Establishment Act empowers the Minister of Justice to provide security cover for the protesters.
He also called on the organised labour to conduct their scheduled rallies peacefully void of violence.
