Men of the Nigeria Police Force on Saturday morning thwarted a June 12 protest in the Gudu area of the Federal Capital Territory and Ojota area of Lagos State when they stormed the area and started firing teargas canisters.
The protest began around 08:30 am and was going on smoothly with the protesters, mostly youths, expressing their dissatisfaction with the state of the nation.
The protesters, who chanted “Buhari must go”, “Say no to injustice”, amongst other solidarity phrases, scampered for safety when the security operatives started shooting.
Recall that the Police had advised citizens to shy away from any act that could jeopardise the efforts of the security operatives in ensuring the safety of lives and properties of the citizens, as well as a peaceful atmosphere in our society as anyone found wanting, will be dealt with in accordance with the law.
In Damaturu, Yobe state
When contacted via telephone, the Network of Civil Society Organizations and Nigeria Labour Congress confirmed to Newsmen that they are not participating because they do not know the organizers of the protest.
Meanwhile, businesses opened for their normal activities and calm was observed in the city.
