Security operatives also fired tear gas at protesters at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja in a bid to disperse the demonstrators who had converged to press on with their demands. 

The protesters, lesser than the number witnessed the previous days, had converged at the facility.

But after some hours, police officers fired tear gas canisters to disperse the protesters.

The MKO Abiola Stadium is the designated venue for the protests in the nation’s capital. A court order had restrained the #EndBadGovernance demonstrators from using other areas.

On Friday, tear gas canisters were also fired at the protesters when they gathered in the Berger roundabout area of the FCT.

But the rallies are continuing – although there is a reduction in the number of demonstrators – in other parts of the country. Lagos, Benin City in Edo State, and Port Harcourt in Rivers State are also witnessing protests.
