A group of suspected hoodlums stormed the Freedom Park in Ojota, Lagos, on Sunday, chasing away protesters who had gathered to demand an end to bad governance.
The disruption occurred after some leaders of the protest movement had withdrawn from the demonstration, following President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s national broadcast calling for dialogue.
According to eyewitnesses, a faction of protesters had opted to continue the demonstration despite the withdrawal of some leaders. However, their efforts were thwarted when the hoodlums, armed with dangerous weapons, suddenly appeared and forced the protesters to disperse in different directions.
Earlier in the day, Nigerian Police officers, led by an Area Commander, had appealed to the protesters to stand down and give peace a chance, following the President’s broadcast. However, their efforts were unsuccessful, as the hoodlums’ intervention led to a chaotic scene, with protesters fleeing for safety.
The incident has raised concerns about the safety and security of protesters exercising their constitutional rights, as well as the potential for external forces to disrupt peaceful demonstrations.
