The Nigeria Police Force detained several #EndBadGovernance protesters at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja on Saturday, despite the venue being approved for the demonstration.
Eyewitnesses reported that the police fired gunshots and deployed tear gas to disperse the gathering protesters. One protester stated, “We came here to peacefully demand better governance, but the police responded with violence.”
Another protester lamented that they were also prevented from using the stadium on Friday.
“The police continuously shot in the air and fired tear gas, scaring many of us away,” the protester said.
Further details about the incident will be reported later.
