Several protesters trooped out today, June 12 a symbolic event, marking the celebration of democracy day in Nigeria. The protesters who gathered in their number were seen carrying placards with various inscriptions in Lagos, Osun and Ondo.
Protesting against what they tagged as bad governance led by President Bola Ahmad TInubu, these protesters were chanting “endhunger, bad economy, high cost of food stuff in the market, and end insecurity”.
Report from Oduduwa News Correspondent who was at the scene of the protest in Lagos, said the protesters were very determined to register their displeasure against the prevailing economic crisis in the country despite the presence of heavy security men stationed across the flashpoints to prevent further break down of laws and orders.
Recall, similar protests were organized last year where Nigerians in their thousands took to the streets to demand an end to bad governance in the country. The protests which started peacefully were later hijacked by hoodlums who used the opportunity to commit arson and several other crimes across the country.
