Despite a plea by President Bola Tinubu for protesters in the ongoing EndBadGovernanceInNigeria to shelve their protests and give room for dialogue, the protests have continued in some parts of the country.
In Lagos, violence erupted as suspected thugs attacked the protesters in a bid to disperse them from the Gani Fawehinmi Park in Ojota, venue of their gathering.
Trouble started after Assistant Commissioner of Police, Paul Okafor, who had addressed the protesters left the venue, followed by other security personnel.
