Security operatives shoot at protesters in Kugbo, Abuja (video)

Protesters were filmed running for their lives as security operatives fired gunshots and teargas at them in Kugbo, Abuja.

A large number of protesters marched on a major road in Kugbo, Asokoro in Abuja Municipal Council Area (AMAC).

Despite gunshots and teargas fired by security operatives said to be the Nigerian army, the protesters refused to retreat.

A Federal High Court in Abuja had restricted protesters to Moshood Abiola Stadium.

But while some of them proceeded to the stadium, others assembled at various spots across the nation’s capital.

Security operatives have been having a tough time controlling the crowd of young persons who are insisting that they would remain on the streets until their demands on an improved economy are met.
