Police Teargas Protesters At Collapsed Building Site In Abuja by metronaija5: 12:17pm On Aug 18, 2018
The protesters were demanding for proper rescue operation at the site as they claimed some people were trapped in the rubbles.

There was tension at the Jabi area in Abuja as Police teargassed some Nigerians who were protesting the death of their "friends and family members" at the collapsed shopping complex on Saturday, August 17, 2018.

The protesters in their numbers were demanding proper rescue operation at the site as they claimed some people were trapped in the rubbles.

"My brother is inside the ground. He called yesterday to say that heat was too much," Sani, a worker at the site said angrily.This people rescued only eight people and they're saying that nobody is their. There's a woman who sells fura and her children; they're still inside the ground. They should come and rescue all these people. Even is they are dead, we want to see their bodies," he demanded

Efforts by the Police officers deployed to the area, o prevent the breakdown of law and order failed as the protesters began blocking the road.
Police fired teargas cannisters at the protesters to disperse them which resulted in traffic gridlock in the area.

Eyewitnesses say at least thirty people were at the building which was still under construction when it collapsed on Friday, August 17, 2018.

RIP to the dead. I keep saying that Nigerians should learn how to use certified professionals in doing stuffs.

Nigeria is a country people prefer to cut corners so that they won't spend money on stuffs. Why won't buildings collapse when Nigerians call any brick-layer who claims he can peg foundation 'Engineer' even without proper training.

Jesus Christ. we have to protest for our government to rescue victims of disaster? Just few hours after it happened, we have to protest and fight for rescue operation to take place?

Thai boys were lost for weeks, their government never gave up on them.

Even if there is no one remaining under the rubble, a government or system that cares will still make 100% sure that there isn't. even the smallest rubble would be turned upside town to confirm.

To be honest; i am not proud to be Nigerian and there is nothing in this country that is worth being patriotic about.

A system of indifferent leaders.

The protest means nothing. If it was demolished by government, then it would have been a bit considerable. But to this, there is nothing relevant to their protests. It a clear fact of how numerous Nigerians youths are jobless to use any opportunity to voice out their frustration.
