Police authorities have fired tear gas at protesters gathered at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja in an attempt to disperse them as they pressed on with their demands.

The number of protesters at the facility was smaller than on previous days.

After several hours, police officers fired tear gas canisters to disperse the protesters.

The MKO Abiola Stadium is the designated venue for protests in the nation’s capital, following a court order that restrained the #EndBadGovernance demonstrators from using other areas.

On Friday, tear gas was also used to disperse protesters at the Berger roundabout area of the FCT.

Despite this, rallies are continuing in other parts of the country, including Lagos, Benin City in Edo State, and Port Harcourt in Rivers State, though with fewer demonstrators.
