JUST IN: POLICE FIRE TEAR GAS ON PROTESTERS IN ABUJA
Read Time:42 Second
Hardship Protesters on Thursday, in their numbers , shunned an order by the Federal Capital Territory which restricted the protest to the MKO Stadium in the city.
Justice Sylvanus Oriji gave the order on Wednesday while delivering a ruling in an ex-parte application brought before him by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike.
The protesters, however, marched to the Eagles Square which they initially planned to use to make their voices heard.
As they approached the venue, the police fired tear gas at them, creating a wall of tear gas smoke, which prevented the crowd from moving forward.
It remains unclear at this time what the protesters will do next.
Some of the protesters insisted on exercising their rights and condemned the actions of the police.
They also called on the government to meet their demands.
