After a brief lull in the Federal Capital Territory, protests have erupted once again on Saturday, marking a return to the streets following recent disturbances. The demonstrations, which had been subdued due to raids on residences and the arrest of key organizers, are now back in full swing.
On Friday, preparations for the protest were evident as our correspondent reported a significant increase in security operatives deployed around the Central Business District. The heightened security measures extended to Eagles Square, where a notable surge in the presence of law enforcement personnel was observed. This shift in security posture followed three days of relative calm, during which no protests had occurred.
By early Saturday morning, protesters had mobilized and commenced their demonstration as early as 7 am. The crowd, rallying under banners of “End Hunger” and “Reverse Fuel Subsidy Removal,” voiced their demands with fervor.
