Police fire teargas at protesters in Abuja

Policemen have fired teargas canisters at protesters assembling at the popular Berger roundabout in Abuja.

Journalists covering the protest were not spared either, as they were also tear-gassed at a separate location they had gathered.

According to the PUNCH, it was reported that the EndBadGovernance protesters in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, abandoned the Moshood Abiola Stadium and gathered at the popular Berger Roundabout.

An FCT High Court had on Wednesday ordered the protesters to limit their demonstrations to the stadium.

In compliance with the order, the protesters, on Thursday, gathered at the stadium but resisted pressure from security operatives to protest inside the stadium.

Afterwards, the protesters left the stadium and marched in their numbers after reports of other protesters at the Eagles Square being harassed by security operatives.

Upon arrival, the policemen guarding the facility repeatedly used tear gas on them.
