Police attack Endbadgovernance protesters in Abuja


Police operatives have reportedly fired teargas at peaceful protesters in Abuja, causing chaos.

A viral video on social media seen by Dockaysworld, captured protesters running for safety as officers fired shots.

The demonstration, tagged #FearlessInOctober, saw hundreds of Nigerians take to the streets on Tuesday to demand an end to bad governance.

Organized by civil society groups, activists, and concerned citizens, the protest voiced frustrations with Nigeria’s ongoing political, economic, and social issues.

The event also revived the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria movement from two months ago.

Led by human rights activist Omoyele Sowore, protesters marched through the capital, holding signs with messages like “Enough is Enough” and “We Demand Accountability.”

In Lagos, the protesters gathered at the Ikeja Underbridge.

The protest, however, is being closely monitored by a large contingent of security personnel, including policemen, officials of the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps, and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.

The protesters are currently chanting solidarity songs, displaying placards bearing inscriptions such as “Reverse electricity tariff now, “End all attacks on democratic rights”, “Reduce petrol price to N197 per litre; end scarcity”, and “Profit soars while people suffer.”
