Iyabo Ojo laments following teargas thrown at protestors at nationwide protest

Actress Iyabo Ojo has lamented over the use of teargas on protestors during the ongoing End Bad Governance protest in Nigeria.

On August 1, 2024, several Nigerians stormed the streets across the country to protest famine, poor governance, and other problems.

After the protest began, videos circulated online, and Iyabo Ojo reported a video from Galaxy TV on her official Instagram profile where protestors were manhandled.

The video appeared to show teargas being used on demonstration grounds, and someone speaking behind the camera stated that shots were fired despite the protestors being unarmed.

Iyabo Ojo took to the caption of the post to share her thoughts about the situation. She wrote:

“Why are they throwing teargas 🤷‍♀️ @nigeriapoliceforce? #peacefulprotest is their right✅️”
