Policemen Storm Ojota To Prevent Convergence Of Protesters

Police officers have gathered at the Gani Fawehinmi Park at the Ojota area of Lagos state, where protesters were matching to, from the National Stadium.

The uniformed men in their dozens, arrived in patrol vehicles and an armored truck to prevent protesters from converging.

Although regular activities still continue around the park which has been themed the ‘Freedom Park’, after hosting the famous ‘Occupy Nigeria’ protest in 2012, the uniformed men were seen urging passersby to keep walking as they discouraged any form of gathering.

Hundreds of protesters under the aegis of the #I Stand With Nigeria group, gathered early on Monday, to protest what they described as “unfavourable government policies” of the Nigerian government.
