On Friday morning, August 2, a detachment of fully armed men of the Nigerian Police forcefully dispersed a group of protesters at around the Berger bridge in Abuja.
Some passers-by and motorists who were caught off-guard could be heard accusing the police of high-handedness.
An Abuja high court had earlier granted an injunction seeking to confine protesters to the MKO Abiola National Stadium.
Federal Capital Territory FCT Minister, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike had on Thursday night urged protesters to obey the court order, but leaders of the protesters say they had not been served with a copy of the said order.
