    Security operatives at the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja, dispersed protesters and journalists from the facility with gunshots on Saturday.

    The security personnel targeted protestors and journalists who fled for cover.

    The demonstrators regrouped after being dispersed by security personnel stationed at the stadium.

    Suddenly, masked security agents suspected of working for the Department of State Services began shooting intermittently at demonstrators.

    As a result, the demonstrators fled into the bushes surrounding the stadium, while some security personnel followed them.

    After that, the remaining masked operators on the ground approached the journalists, who were in a separate location.

    As they neared, media rushed into whatever available vehicle.

    The camouflaged security personnel fired intermittently at the fleeing journalists.

    Bullets perforated a Premium Times reporter’s car, transporting journalists to three different sites.

    Security agents shot journalists inside the car from The Punch, The Cable, Premium Times, and Peoples Gazette.

    Also, gunshots broke the glass of a commuter van.
