There is larger gathering of Armed thugs around the Eagle Square located in the Three Arms Zone in Abuja.
Youth, some
without shirts and many others in black, were seen holding sticks and walking
round the square.
The
situation has made armed policemen and soldiers deployed in the Supreme Court
gate of the Presidential Villa, be on red alert.
Soldiers manning
the Cenotaph directly opposite the Eagle Square are also on standby.
Up the road,
tight security was also noticed around the Court of Appeal premises and the
Police Headquarters.
Policemen on
horses and inside Arrnoured Personnel Carrier are keeping watch around the
police headquarters.
The #EndSARS
protests rocking the country have continued for almost two weeks with youths
calling for a lasting reform of the Nigeria Police Force.
All
entreaties by politicians and business leaders for the youths to leave the
streets failed as they block major highways, thereby, causing gridlock and
affecting economic activities.
Suspected
hoodlums had also hijacked the #EndSARS campaign in some cities, wreaked havoc
on citizens and vandalised public assets in Lagos, Benin, Abuja, amongst other
major cities.
