Police officers have used teargas on a group of protesters
around the federal secretariat in Abuja — Nigeria’s capital city.
Young Nigerians commenced a nationwide protest against
economic hardship and soaring inflation today.
The protests have been dubbed ’10 days of rage’ with the
hashtag #EndBadGovernance.
There is heavy police presence across the nation as the
protest picks up steam.
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.
