Abuja Protesters Scamper For Safety As Police Fire Tear Gas During Protest by TGchina(op): 3:11pm On Apr 07, 2025
Take-It-Back protesters scamper for safety as police fire tear gas during protest in Abuja.

Officers of the Nigeria Police Force dispersed protesters with tear gas in the Maitama area of Abuja.

The protesters, who had gathered on Monday, April 7, scattered in different directions as the tear gas canisters were fired in their midst.

The protest is part of a nationwide demonstration spearheaded by the Take-It-Back Movement and other civil society organisations.

Key among the concerns raised by the organisers are the alleged misuse of the Cybercrime Act, the worsening economic hardship in the country, and what they described as a “state of emergency” in Rivers State.

The demonstrators carried placards bearing inscriptions such as “Stop the Repression” and “Let Us Breathe”.

Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore was also present at the protest ground.

The Revolution that would either break Nigeria to fragment or bring back military, might happen before Tinubu complete his two term. Because 3/4 of population have completely tired of his reign, even in his base Lagos,we could see clearly with event that happened few weeks ago, several of his die-hard surporters, have lost hope in him and only following him by unwillingly, because of military and police at his disposal.

A freedom fighter cum democracy champion of yesteryears, turning dictator and tormentor less than 2 years of his reign as democratically elected president.

Sowore himself is the one paying the police to attack the protesters. He wants to give the impression that those in power are heartless to the cries of the masses. I will never play with my life for these politicians. Na them go gain completely while I lose.

I feel ashamed whenever I read most of your comments, how will Nigeria get better with your type? Were the protesters violating any rule or destroying any property? Keep supporting evil and it'll never depart from you

You should be ashamed of yourself! Take a few minutes and say to yourself that you’re not normal at all.

Did they destroy anything? So one don’t have the right to a peaceful protest and you want a better Nigeria?
