As the #EndBadGovernance protests enter Day 4, West Africa Weekly confirms that pro-government thugs attacked peaceful protesters on Sunday morning.
The hoodlums chased peaceful protesters who had gathered around the Gani Faweyinmi Park in Ojota. The assault continued while Policemen watched.
Those paid thugs came there today. I just finished running for dear life at 10:23, one of the protesters said.
Over 20 protesters have been killed and over a thousand arrested so far by security agents and government-sponsored thugs. States with the highest casualties include Kano, Borno, Kaduna, Kigawa, and Zamfara.
The #EndBadGovernance nationwide protest started on Thursday across major cities in the country. It is a youth-led nationwide demonstration against economic hardship caused by government policies.
In a broadcast on Sunday, President Bola Tinubu called for an end to the demonstration while he ignored the demands of the protesters.
