BREAKING: Police fire teargas at June 12 protesters in Abuja

Some operatives of the Nigeria Police Force on Saturday morning disrupted the June 12 protest in the Gudu area of the Federal Capital Territory.

According to The PUNCH, the officers stormed the area and started firing teargas canisters.

The protest began around 08:30 am and was going on smoothly with the protesters, mostly youths, expressing their dissatisfaction with the state of the nation.

The protesters, who chanted “Buhari must go”, “Say no to injustice”, amongst other solidarity phrases, took to their heels and scampered for safety when the security operatives started shooting.

It is not clear whether or not any arrest has been made as of the time of filing this report.
