Information reaching me right now is that a serious protest is taking place at Checkpoint Nyanya down to mararaba axis. The Crowd is said to be enormous.

The protest, which began near Nyanya checkpoint, saw a large crowd attempting to march towards the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). However, police forces intervened to prevent the demonstrators from advancing.

Tensions escalated when an innocent bystander, not involved in the protest, was reportedly shot in the leg during the altercation.

In response protesters have burnt the Police outpost at checkpoint, beat the first batch of police that tried stopping them who managed to escape, hopped into their vehicles and zoomed off. They have also burned tires at various locations.

The situation intensified with the sound of gunfire in the air, which was clearly signaling a volatile atmosphere.

Adding to the tension, helicopters were seen patrolling overhead as all attention shifted from other protests in city of Abuja to this particular unrest.

Concerns have been raised about the potential for further violence, with calls for restraint and caution. Observers are questioning whether the military, who have been deployed, can maintain control without resorting to further use of force.

For me, PR Tinubu should call the military to order. Shooting protesters at day one is a bad move that can change the course of the entire protest. There are other measures that can be taken.

Above all, the big question is, can the Military hold them for too long without shooting multiple people?

Scary times ahead. Just inform any of your relatives or loved ones to stay safe.

You were warned well ahead that there was anger in the land and people are angry. You dismissed it because of your massive lots over the years. Whatever becomes of you, you brought it up on yourselves.

A day is coming when Nigerians will begin to go extreme because of the accumulated pains they have been subjected to over the years

My fear, those that are killed will be forgotten in less than a month, their family will grief , no compensation from government, most people on nairaland ing the protest are in their houses chatting on phone.

Protest should go on but nobody should cross each other path. That is my stand.

Tinubu is playing with fire.
His policies will bring an end to his tenure if he continues to form Jagaban.

By 2027 Wike will be well schooled about how Abuja and it's residents operates. His madness starts and ends in Rivers state.

Anyone who studies ing is typically well-versed in resource management, so it is puzzling that President Tinubu's resource management skills seem to be lacking. It raises questions about the legitimacy of his qualifications, prompting speculation that he may have forged his certificate.
