A detachment of police officers on Saturday dispersed June 12 protesters from the Gani Fawehinmi Park, Ojota,The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the police had stationed their patrol vehicles on the Ikorodu/Maryland Expressway, near the park, preventing people from entering the park.
NAN observed that the protesters, numbering about 50, some of whom wore red berets, gathered on the expressway, chanting solidarity songs.A senior police officer advised the protesters to be civil in their approach. “I am not stopping you from protesting, but do it without inviting hoodlums to take over the protest,” he said.
The protesters, however, did not heed the officer’s advice as they continued chanting solidarity songs. This made police officers shoot into the air, forcing the protesters to scamper in different directions for safety.
Why? They have the right to protest. Peacefully. 😳
