As part of measures to contain the protest, authorities of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) had obtained a court order which restricted the protesters to MKO Abiola National Stadium.Conveners of the protest had demanded to use Eagle Square for convergence but they were denied access.

However, on day one of the protest, they headed for Eagle Square where the police dispersed them with teargas after hours of resistance.

Security forces also had tough time controlling different groups which blocked roads and lit bonfire across Abuja while the protest held peacefully at the stadium.

As against the situation on the first two days of the protest, not a single protester was sighted at the Abuja Stadium when Daily Trust visited on Saturday morning.

Policemen and journalists at the stadium just stood around observing the situation.

“Them don go do weekend,” said a policeman who mocked the protesters while chatting with his colleagues.

When our reporter contacted one of the organisers of the protest in Abuja, he said they were at Berger Roundabout, but not a single protester was sighted there.

Our reporter got back to him after checking Berger Roundabout and this time around, he said they were having a strategic meeting inside the stadium.

Just at the time of going to press, some supporters of the protest posted a video where about 25 people were seen dancing in a group.

“Day 3 Protest in Abuja, Protesters are already gathering in their numbers!” an X user who tweeted via @DAMADENUGA captioned the post.

It is unclear when the one minute, twenty-five seconds video, which captured Deji Adeyanju, one of the lead organisers, was recorded, as our reporter took photographs and videos of the current situation at the stadium.

Why you keep on deceiving the people my brother my sister

So protest will make them afford all you said?

Below is 1983 when they still sell bag of beans for N200, yet millions of Nigerians are crying for hunger then.

But you expect protest from some insurrectionists to suddenly make all of you afford a bag of beans. You never talk the motive of your protest.

Still loitering around?

Stop sounding stupid on this forum.

Yes stop sounding stupid. Sebi mods have been allowing you to be attacking us for 3 days now without doing anything about the reporting.

Let's see if they would remember the forum rules with this my comments.

Which message was passed?

Now protest in Nigeria is synonymous to looting. You guys have rubbished the meaning and essence of protest.

This protest achieved nothing more than what can be achieved by dialogue.

COMRADES, this is a stale news, when you restrict peaceful protesters in one place, then you not democratic in nature

So you should leave protesters to block major road and do anywhere they want because other people don’t have right too?

Can you open your compound for us to come and do protest there? Since it’s a democracy and we have right to protest anywhere.

Is my house/compound an institution? The protest is against the institution or the state

The essence of blocking the road is to cause pains on the road users in retaliation to the pains that the state had caused to the nation, that will make the state to listen to the protesters quickly

Keep fooling yourself because of crumbs or tribalism. I am from Osun state but based in Lagos. My father is in his 60s and he said this is the most difficult period for Nigerians. If ordinary garri and beans can be a luxury. It is finish.

Also tell us about Borno and kaduna state.

So does your elder also tell you Tinubu is the cause of your misfortune?

Coz I don’t know how what you said negate what I said.

The state own your land. Your land is a property of the state.

So protesters can use your property to get back at the government too.

Imagine protesters demolishing 1000 houses, don’t you think that will pain the government too?

Give us your address, I will forward it to Sowore for Monday protest.

I love Wike. He should come and teach the weakling we have in Lagos a lesson about governance. I miss Fashola in times like this

If Wike contest for Lagos governor, I will support him with everything I have.

I like that man. Sanwoolu is a sissyy, people like that will cause harm to the Yoruba on the long run.

From 'There won't be protest in SW' to 'Day 3, protest losing momentum'.

Una go open mouth WAAA!

It is now on record that protest happened.

Looks like the so-called hunger protesters are realizing that their empty stomachs can’t compete with their empty heads. It's about time they accept that no one is interested in their drama.

Na so e be.

When dem no see food, dem go just dey talk anyhow.

This hunger protest na just noise, no real commitment.

If na real wahala, everybody suppose dey on ground.

Make we no deceive ourselves, we no fit carry our stomach enter protest.

protest in Nigeria includes looting because our politicians are the biggest looters

pointblank247:

Because Nigerians are generally looters including both politician and common man.

If you doubt me, drop your phone and see if the person that pick it will give you back.

The Poster claimed that the Protest was losing momentum.
It is either He is deluded or Blind to See.

Remain 7 days ooh, aah aah dem don tire on third day

No Igbos to lead the charge this time

LegendHero:

is your father the cause then? Is your father the president? Is your father responsible for all the anti people policy?

Since 1960 e go better, e go better. When exactly will it get better? Is it not high time we go our separate ways?

Take away the craze to loot and destroy properties from them, their protest becomes meaningless, empty and flop.

-Kiss the truth!
