The October 1 nationwide protest scheduled for today has commenced in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.
The demonstration tagged #FearlessInOctober is a continuation of the #EndBadGovernance protests held between August 1 and 10 in response to the economic hardship experienced by many Nigerians.
Demonstrators gathered as early as 7 a.m. at the busy Utako market in the FCT’s Utako neighbourhood, where the demonstration is now taking place.
Damilare Adenola, the Director of Mobilisation Take It Back Movement, decried the country’s hardship, which he blamed on the Federal Government’s policies.
Chronicle NG reported that the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria demonstrations turned violent in several states in Nigeria, leading to the breaking and looting of both government and private businesses.
