The Corporate Affairs Commission CAC has deregistered a prominent civic group based in Lagos – Enough is Enough.
The deletion announced on Tuesday comes at a time which the Federal Government is escalating crackdown on prominent #EndSARS champions.
Giving reasons behind the move, CAC alleged that the group deviated from its declared purpose in the registration document.
Based on the provisions of Section 579 (2) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, (CAMA), the Corporate Affairs Commission has cancelled the registration of the Business name “Enough is Enough BN 2210728” with immediate effect.

“Based on the provisions of Section 579 (2) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act, (CAMA), the Corporate Affairs Commission has cancelled the registration of the Business name “Enough is Enough BN 2210728” with immediate effect.
“The above section provides amongst others that the Commission has the power to cancel the registration of a Business Name where the name is deceptive or objectionable.
“The Business Name “Enough is Enough” which was registered in 2012 to engage in General Contracts, Sales of Sport Equipment/Promotion deviated from its main objectives over the cause of time.
“Consequently, the Commission has removed it from its database and advised the proprietors to surrender the certificate earlier issued to them,” the CAC said.
It is worthwhile to note that Enough Is Enough has been a formidable force in the civil society, championing the social and economic rights of Nigerians in recent years, including during the recent #EndSARS campaign.
Reacting to the deregistration, EiE chief executive Yemi Adamolekun told newsmen that the move was an attempt to distract the organisation from its service to the Nigerian people.
According to Ms. Adamolekun, EiE had been conducting its activities as a limited guarantee, not as the business name that CAC claimed in its statement.
She went further to debunk the government’s claim by making the registration certificate of the organisation public.
