In Lagos, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of the Alausa police station addressed the gathering protesters, urging them to relocate to Gani Fawehinmi Park to air their grievances.

This wave of protests was initially sparked in Abuja, where demonstrators gathered at Moshood Abiola Stadium in compliance with a court order issued yesterday. The order restricts protest activities to the stadium, prohibiting marches through the streets of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). This decision has drawn significant reactions from concerned Nigerians, who argue that peaceful protest is a fundamental civil right. Many believe that protesters should be allowed to express themselves freely without such constraints.
In response to the Abuja protests, security has been significantly heightened in the FCT. Agencies are stationed throughout the metropolis, conducting stop-and-search operations on commuters. Following widespread calls from various government sectors urging Nigerians to avoid the protest to prevent potential chaos and anarchy, the Nigerian Army has blocked major roads within the FCT, further limiting the movement of protesters and other residents.
