The convener of the coalition, Ayo Akinuli-Kofar, while addressing journalists said they came to formally send a message to President Muhammadu Buhari, through the Nigerian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, demanding his intervention in ensuring the situation is brought under control.

The protesters were seen with banners with inscriptions “Kogites in Diaspora Say No To Resurgence of Violence in our State” “Security Agents Must Invite those Defending Terrorists in the Media Now” and Kogi Must Not Return to Dark Days of Daily Blood Letting”, among others.
According to them, the protest will continue should the presidency, the state government and security agencies delay or refuse to ensure the arrest and prosecution of alleged defenders and enablers of insecurity in the State.
