Pro-democracy Group Plans Town Hall in Akure to Demand Update on Ailing Governor Akeredolu's Health Status Amid Forgery Concerns
-
SaharaReporters reported a pro-democracy group, Take-It-Back Movement, plans a town hall meeting on Dec 16 in Akure to demand Gov Akeredolu resume work or resign.
-
Human rights activist Sowore said Nigeria's secret police DSS threatened the Deji of Akure not to release the hall booked for the meeting.
-
DSS also told the monarch to refund the deposit paid to book the hall, but Sowore said the meeting will happen regardless.
-
Akeredolu has leukemia and has been abroad for medical treatment since January, with his family keeping his health issues private.

A forensic report confirmed the ailing governor's signature was forged on an official document, indicating the possibility of more forgeries.
