BREAKING: Police Fire Live Bullets At Journalists In Abuja by JEWELofHELL666(op): 1:01pm On Aug 03, 2024
Policemen on Saturday in Abuja fired live bullets at a vehicle conveying journalists and hunger protesters.

There are nationwide protests against hardship worsened by some policies of President Bola Tinubu. The protest started on August 1 but organisers said it would continue until August 10.

The shooting at the Abuja National Stadium where protesters converged ignited panic as journalists and protesters scampered for safety. The police earlier asked the protesters to leave the Federal Capital Territory.

Details shortly….

The demonstration against economic hardship at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja, came to an abrupt end on Saturday after security agents fired at protesters and journalists.

The security agents had initially fired tear gas canisters to disperse the protesters.

They later resorted to shooting at persons in the vicinity, breaking the rear glass and denting the bumper of the vehicle of a Premium Times reporter.

If this protest turns violent, know that the police and security personnel empowered by Tinubu is the reason.

Below is the video of Tinubu thug attacking a journalist while law enforcement officers look without taking any action but will shoot on peaceful protesters and journalist doing their jobs.

Police is one of the problem in this country.

They are working on Tinubu's orders.

They couldn't even make a down payment for a roasted corn 🌽 in this situation.

They should take it easy over there
I guess the actions of the mobs at that side is the side why the police have been overdoing everything

The protest in the SS and SW have been fair all along.

So police should keep silent when protesters keep looting and abusing other people's right...

Some overzealous police man.If it turns violent now,they will be the first victim.
As long as the protesters are maintaining order,the police should restrain themselves.

It's evident the Nigeria police is doing everything possible to hijack this peaceful protest and turn it violent?



Why are you shooting live ammunition for Gods sakehuh

Two days ago, an immigration officer shot himself in the foot thrice, first question is what's an immigration officer doing at protest ground??

Police water truck knocked down a police officer and killed him at the spot, the evidence bokku

Majority of the security men and their families are the one that are suffering most.
Unfortunately for them, they are the ones that are being used to help the government against the people who are asking our oppressors to do what will favour us the people of Nigeria.

The scenario playing out in the country presently is a big shame on Tinubu who used to be a master protester himself.

COMRADES, honestly, I don't know why Nigerian police are like that

Is it lack of proper training or it's illiteracy?
