Nigerians hold anti-government protests
Nigerians troop out on an anti-government protest demanding good governance and an urgent explanation
for the country’s economic downturn kicks off today simultaneously in Lagos,
Abuja, Port Harcourt, and other major cities across the country.
The decision to stage the process has been met with stiff opposition by the police who, repeatedly, told the organisers to call off their planned action.
Popular musician, 2face Idibia, who was billed to lead the protest in Lagos, opted out at the eleventh hour citing security concerns.
In Lagos, the protesters are expected to march from National Stadium in Surulere to the National Theatre, Iganmu, a distance of about four kilometres.
Bur everything has been peaceful.

“I Stand with Nigeria” protesters have made a bold
statement in Ibadan, Oyo State amidst threats trailing the major protest
scheduled to hold today in Lagos.
Some participants were seen in a public place holding placards
with the inscriptions; “Where is our president” “Enough is Enough”.
They are currently questioning President Muhammadu Buhari’s
extended medical trip in London, United Kingdom.
