There was a standoff between #EndBadGovernance protesters and security agencies at Eagle Square in Abuja on Thursday.

Despite a court order and a directive by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike restricting the protest to MKO Abiola Stadium, thousands of protesters converged at Eagle Square.

Security agencies responded with force, throwing over 30 teargas canisters at the protesters, who retaliated by picking them up and throwing them back.

The protesters temporarily retreated but have returned to Eagle Square, defying the authorities.

The situation remains volatile, with security agencies continuing to throw more teargas canisters at the protesters as of the time of filing this report.

The protesters’ demands for action on hunger and economic hardship remain unaddressed, fueling their determination to continue the demonstration.
