October 1 Showdown: Thugs take over protest venue in Port Harcourt

10 months ago 1 min read

Thugs on Tuesday took over the protest ground used during the August #EndBadGovernance protest in Rumuokwuta, in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

The venue was earlier announced as the state’s gathering point for the ‘FearlessInOctober’ demonstration against economic hardship in the country.

Cane-wielding hoodlums, however, took over the ground, saying they don’t want any protest in Rivers State.

The thugs allegedly threatened to beat up any journalist who dared film them.

Similar protests are being held in other parts of the country like Lagos and Abuja as Nigeria celebrates its 64th independence anniversary.

The protesters demand that President Bola Tinubu’s administration reverse petrol subsidy removal and forex unification, twin policies that they claimed were responsible for soaring inflation and living costs in the country.
