Protesters of end bad government turned up in their numbers on Saturday August 10, 2024, at two venues, Apo district and Lokogoma district in Abuja. This was done to accomplish their vow of embarking on a one-million-man march as a way of telling Nigerian government to end hunger and reverse fuel subsidy removal.
Vanguard reported that the protesters strategically skipped the MKO Abiola National Stadium after the City Gate and Eagle Square, following heavy Police and Military Presence at both venues, they streamed to Apo and Lokogoma as early as 7 am.
The protesters reportedly displayed several placards chanting “End hunger” and “Reverse fuel subsidy removal,” among others.
Recall that the protest which kickstarted on August 1, turned ugly as hoodlums hijacked the process and embarked on massive looting, destruction of critical infrastructure and attack on motorists among others.
In many Northern states including Kano, Zamfara, Bauchi and Kaduna, many of the violent demonstrators resorted to carrying and flying foreign nations flags and calling for a regime change, a call that has been roundly condemned by Nigerians, the armed forces of Nigeria and other security agencies, as well as the organizers of the protest themselves.
