Authorities of the FCT Police Command have been accused of deploying tear gas against #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria demonstrators in Abuja on Friday.
Protesters gathered at the well-known Berger roundabout in Abuja today to extend their demonstration against the financial difficulties in the country, which began on Thursday, August 1.
Nevertheless, journalists reporting on the demonstration were not immune on Friday as security officers used tear gas at various spots where the protesters had congregated.
