Nigerian Protesters Comply with Court Order, Shut Federal Secretariat in Abuja
As the scheduled nationwide #EndBadGovernance protest begins across the country, the federal secretariat in Abuja has been shut. Our correspondent observed that the gates of the office of the Head of the Civil Service were shut as security operatives manned the gate.
Meanwhile, protesters have complied with the court order for the protests to be restricted to the Moshood Abiola National Stadium. The Eagles Square was observed to be empty as protesters at the National Stadium refused to enter the main bowl of the stadium for their protest.
The protesters, who had converged at the National Stadium, began to sing and chant anti-government slogans, calling for an end to what they described as bad governance and corruption. They also carried placards with various inscriptions, including “Enough is Enough” and “Buhari Must Go.”
The protest, which was attended by hundreds of people, was peaceful and well-organized, with security personnel from the Nigeria Police Force and other agencies on hand to maintain law and order.
