The policemen fired tear gas canisters at the protesters and journalists who were interviewing the leader of the protesters.

The protesters had accused the CJN of dabbling into partisan affairs, saying his utterances in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital while being a guest of Gov. Nyesom Wike, left much to be desired.
