Report on nationwide protest

PROTEST: I HAVE THE VIDEO. THEY WANT TO KILL US, THEY WERE SHOOTING LIVE AMMUNITION AT US-PROTESTER.

A protester in Abuja has accused security agencies of using live ammunition on peaceful protesters.

There are reports that security agencies had used teargas to disperse the protesters in the nation’s federal capital territory, but speaking with newsmen, the protester said that the security agencies also fired ammunition at the protesters.



In the video which was shared by The Guardian on Friday, the protester whose name was not disclosed said that she has the video of the security agencies shooting live ammunition at them, and accused the security agencies of trying to kill them.

She said, “I have the video. They want to kill us. Live ammunition. They were shooting, they were shooting at us. The guy was on mufti. He wore black clothes. The guy came out from the bus where the anti-protesters came out and was shooting live (ammunition at us), while the police were at our back shooting teargas up and down. Why?

“What did we do? We did not go there with anything, and they are shooting at us. We have the video, we know them. We might not have seen their faces, but we know them.”
