Police in Abuja shoot teargas at protesters
Police officers have used teargas on a group of protesters around the federal secretariat in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory.
Young Nigerians commenced a nationwide protest against economic hardship, hunger and bad governance.
The protests have been dubbed ’10 Days of rage’ with the hashtag #EndBadGovernance.
There is heavy police presence across the nation as the protesters stormed the streets in various states.
On Wednesday, a federal capital territory (FCT) high court restricted protesters to the MKO Abiola stadium in Abuja.
Sylvanus Oriji, the presiding judge, gave the order while ruling on an ex parte motion brought by Nyesom Wike, Minister of the FCT.
Wike sued Omoyele Sowore, Damilare Adenola, Adama Ukpabi, Tosin Harsogba, and persons unknown as 1st to 5th defendants.
However, on Thursday morning, some of the protesters engaged police personnel in a heated argument, insisting that they would not be caged within the precincts of the stadium.
