EndBadGovernance Protest Resumes in Abuja, Despite Heavy Security Presence
The #EndBadGovernance protest has resumed in Abuja, despite a heavy security presence in the Federal Capital Territory.
The protest, which began on August 1, was briefly halted due to raids on residences and the arrest of organizers. However, protesters returned to the streets on Saturday, chanting slogans such as “End hunger” and “Reverse fuel subsidy removal.”
Our correspondent observed a large number of security operatives around the Central Business District areas and Eagles Square, where the protest is taking place.
The protesters, who began their demonstration at 7am, are demanding an end to bad governance and economic hardship. The protest is expected to culminate in a one million-man march across the country today.
The heavy security presence has not deterred the protesters, who are determined to make their voices heard. The protest has been largely peaceful, with no reports of violence or clashes with security operatives.
The #EndBadGovernance protest has been ongoing for weeks, with demonstrators demanding an end to economic hardship and bad governance.
