Fearless in October protesters dispersed with tear gas in Abuja

 

Protesters against bad governance and hunger were on Tuesday tear gassed at the Utako Market in Abuja.

 

 

The protesters had converged at the market as early as 7 am on Tuesday, to protest the hardship faced by Nigerians occasioned by government policies and programs.

 

 

However, Police officers promptly dispersed the protesters at about 8:54 am.

 

 

 

 

The October 1 protest tagged #FearlessInOctober is a continuation of the #EndBadGovernance protests held between August 1 and 10 in response to the economic hardship experienced by many Nigerians.
