The Police have arrested some of the protesters who converged on the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja.

The police picked them up outside the stadium, which was approved for the protest.

Conveners of the protest had demanded to use Eagle Square for convergence but they were denied access.

Authorities of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) had obtained a court order which restricted the protesters to MKO Abiola National Stadium.

However, on day three of the protest, the protesters had stayed away from the venue in the early hours of the day.

But they started regrouping in tens around 11am and just as about they were to form a large group, the police released gunshots and teargas.

They also arrested all those on ground, including journalists, who identified themselves before they were released and ordered to leave immediately.

The 16th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, has called on the people not to allow themselves to be used as agents of destruction in Kano, the north and the country at large.

The Emir spoke just as news broke that protesters had returned to the streets despite the curfew imposed to check widespread violence.

Daily Trust had reported how protesters regrouped in Tudun Wada of Nassarawa Local Government Area of Kano, on Friday afternoon.

They regrouped after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf relaxed the curfew to enable Muslim faithful observe Jumaat.

Our correspondent saw youth converging on the bridge demarcating Tudun Murtala and Tudun Wada wards.

Many of them wielded placards while others sang and clapped as they marched on after a young man addressed them.

At a press conference held at his Gidan Rumfa palace Friday evening, the first-class monarch expressed deep concern over how public and private properties were looted and vandalised owing to the protest that was billed to be peaceful demonstration against hunger and hardship in the country.

The Emir said what happened is a setback to the state, the northern region and the country at large.

Details later….

EndBadGovernance protesters have restricted vehicular movement along major roads in Zaria, Kaduna State.

As the protest entered the second day, the youth resolved to place themselves at strategic locations on the major road to prevent movement of vehicles across the main roads.

Our correspondent reports that the main road from Zaria city to Kofar doka to Agoro junction have been blocked.

Similarly, the road from Kofar Doka round about to Dan magaji junction have also been blocked.

A drama nearly ensured as the youth tried to block Army vehicles from movement at the Kofar doka round but the intervention of some leaders in protest saved the situation, and the vehicles were allowed to passed without hitch.

Shops and malls also remain closed under lock and key as well as market places across the town.

However, the protesters eased the movement during Friday prayers thereby allowing Muslim faithful access to mosque.

Meanwhile, the protest has been peaceful with less people in attendance compared to the first day.

The scheduled nationwide protest against hunger and rising cost of living is currently ongoing.

Some Nigerians had scheduled the protest to call on President Bola Tinubu-led government to look into their plight.

According to the organisers who tagged the demonstration #EndBadGovernance, it was supposed to hold simultaneously across the nation.

However, while there has been widespread demonstration across geopolitical zones, the South East region has been calm,

In Anambra State, although commercial banks, schools, and government offices were shut, some markets opened for business. In Onitsha, Awka, Nnewi, and Ekwulobia, traders went about their activities without disruption.

Restaurants and bars were filled with young persons who were discussing happenings in other parts of the country.

But despite the lack of participation in the nationwide protest, soldiers and police officers patrolled major cities, monitoring human and vehicular activities.

Like Anambra, banks, filling stations, school and other institutions were under lock and keys, but residents did not file out in protest. Abakiliki and its environs witnessed uneasy calm as vehicles were seen along the roads and streets.

The popular International Market and some private business individuals were open for business.

In Lagos, protesters trooped out as early as 7am to mobilise in different parts of the city. Although the court restricted them to Freedom Park, Ojota, the protesters assembled at Ikeja, Lekki, Ajah, Alimosho, among others.

At Alausa, the seat of power in Ikeja, the Divisional Police Officer tried to talk them into relocating to Ojota but the refused.

In Osun, protesters filed across streets in Osogbo, the state capital, as residents cheered them, With loud songs blaring from speakers, the protesters kept chanting anti-government slogans.

In Ekiti and Ogun, there were little or no demonstrations across the states as people went about their businesses.

Weighing in on the situation, Ogun Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) said there was no cause for alarm.

The NSCDC Commandant in the state, Mr David Ojelabi, said this while addressing traders at Panseke market in Abeokuta on Thursday.

A News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) correspondent, who monitored the protest, reports that the commandant and some Deputy Corps Commandant (DCCs) had earlier visited M.K.O. Abiola International Stadium and Kuto market, both in Abeokuta to monitor the situation.

Ojelabi said that NSCDC and other security agencies would work together to protect the protesters

Trading and other activities continued unabated in the market and other parts of the metropolis.

An Ogun High Court had, on Wednesday, ordered the sponsors of the protests to limit their activities to four locations in the state.

The court, presided over by Justice O. Ogunfowora, prohibited the protesters from protesting anywhere except at the MKO Abiola International Stadium, Abeokuta; Ansar-Ud-Deen Comprehensive High School, Ota; Remo Divisional High School, Sagamu and Dipo Dina Stadium, Ijebu-Ode.

In Ekiti, it was a peaceful atmosphere as many stayed indoor to spend time with their family members and loved ones.

Speaking on the development, Commissioner for Youth Development, Mr. Adesola G. Adedayo, said Ekiti youth have said they were not protesting but supporting the government of Governor Biodun Oyebanji and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In Kwara, residents stayed away from Metropolitan Square, Ilorin, where the court restricted protesters to.

When Daily Trust visited the venue around 9am, on Thursday, Police officers and DSS officials who were on ground told our correspondent that they had not seen or heard from any of the organisers.

In Delta and Bayelsa, there were clashes by protesters and journalists were not spared.

In Edo, protesters assembled in some places to vent their anger over the economic situation.
However, things took a dramatic turn when resident vandalised a truck to loot bags of rice with the inscription “Edo state government food support programe”.
In a viral video, one of the residents was heard calling on others to partake in the loot.
“Come and take rice. Our rice that the Edo government has been hiding from us. This is our time, come and grab yours said the fellow,” who had his hands full. The truck was parked in a warehouse at Urora axis, near Benin City.

Harvests of deaths

In Abuja, the protest started peacefully at the approved venue but the situation got out of control when mobs started assembling in different parts of the nation’s capital. Trouble started when they shouted down Minister of State for Youths Development, Ayodele Olawande.

Olawande had arrived at Eagles Square to address the protesters but faced a shout from the demonstrators who chanted “hunger dey” to prevent the minister from speaking.

However, after quelling the crowd, Olawande said he wasn’t attempting to shut down the protest, describing himself as a comrade who has attended between 100 and 500 protests.

Security forces tried to chase the protesters away from Eagle Square.

In another part of Abuja, hundreds of protesters marched from Maraba, Nyanya into Asokoro after outnumbering policemen and soldiers. The protesters who were mainly Okada riders defied teargas and gunshots as they trooped out in numbers.

Some kilometer from Asokoro, young took control of Zuba-Kuba expressway, restricting human and vehicular movements. Security operatives had a tough time controlling them as they returned to the roads after they were dislodged.

At least one of the youths who barricaded the road was gunned down in the ensuing confusion.

In neighbouring Niger State, at least six persons were shot dead by security operatives who were trying to restore calm.

The victims were said to have been killed while security operatives were struggling to dislodge a group of protesters who mounted barricade on a section of Abuja-Kaduna highway.

Daily Trust had reported how passengers and motorists were trapped on the road for hours.

Some policemen who were around the barricade could not control the youths who outnumbered them. However, a reinforcement team was sent to the scene where pandemonium occurred.

In Katsina, aggrieved youths stormed the residence of former President Muhammadu Buhari but did not gain access. However, they lit bonfire while expressing disapproval of the hardship in the land. They also marched to the Emir’s palace.

In Jigawa, aggrieved youths set the head office of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on fire and attacked houses of some politicians. They also looted government warehouse and destroyed facilities.

At least, two persons were reportedly killed in the violence.

In Kano, protesters breached security at Government House where Governor Abba Yusuf was to address them. They first lit bonfire in front of Government House before they tried to overpower security forces who forced them out with teargas and water canon.

Across the state, hoodlums had a field day vandalising government properties and breaking into warehouses and stores. A complex of the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) which was set for commissioning was looted and torched. Among items looted were furniture, electronic gadgets.

There were also different reports of killings. The governor had to declare 24-hour curfew.

In Borno, four persons were shot dead at a filling station. The deaths were recorded after the government of Governor Babagana Zulum and security operatives agreed for a curfew following the negative trend of the protest.

In Yobe, curfew was declared in three LGAs, including Potiskum, were government properties were torched.

The Federal Government and leadership of security agencies have not reacted to the widespread violence that marred the protest.

Although the Tinubu administration had repeatedly warned that the protest could be hijacked by hoodlums.

Many protesters went berserk at the Bulunkutu area, in Maiduguri, Borno State capital on Thursday as the police officers fired teargas to disperse them.

Gunshots were also hard but no casualty has been reported so far.

The angry protesters, in their hundreds, have mounted roadblocks, preventing vehicular movement and breaking windscreens of private and commercial vehicles that insisted on passing.

The young men and women protesting were seen chanting anti-government songs, carrying placards with the inscriptions: “Ba ma yi”, “Tinubu must go”, “End the bad governance” and “there is hunger”.

At the time of filing this report, fighter jets were hovering in the sky as the protesters headed for the Government House to register their grievances to the state governor, Prof Babagana Umara Zulum.

One of the protesters, who gave his name simply as Muhammad, said they would not be deterred by the teargas, or even gunshots while exercising their constitutional right to protest.

“We want the world to know the kind of injustice meted against us by the police. They shoot teargas at us while conducting our peaceful protest and that would not deter us,” he said.

The protest, which began early in the morning with kids within the age of 14, has gradually picked up steam as young adults, men and women came out en masse.

Sources said security measures taken were aimed at guiding the protesters and preventing infiltration by Boko Haram.

“These young men and women wouldn’t understand the danger that their actions would potend. We will continue to manage the situation in a civil war,” a senior security source said.

There is a strong narrative growing in the north to chop Tinubu’s money and not vote for him.
