    Despite the heavy presence of security men, protesters, on Tuesday, gathered at Ikeja Underbridge in Lagos as Nigeria marks 64th nationhood anniversary.

    The protest, however, is being closely monitored by a large contingent of security personnel, including policemen, officials of the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps, and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.

    Leading the team of policemen at the protest ground is the state Commissioner of Police, Olanrewaju Ishola.

    The protesters are currently chanting solidarity songs, displaying placards bearing inscriptions such as “Reverse electricity tariff now, “End all attacks on democratic rights”, “Reduce petrol price to N197 per litre; end scarcity”, and “Profit soars while people suffer.”

    Spearheading the protest are some civil society groups, including the Take It Back Movement, the Education Rights Campaign, the Coalition for Revolution, and the Socialist Workers League, are spearheading the protest.

    The protest marks the second time in two months that angry Nigerians would hit the streets in disapproval of the hardship in the country.

    Tagged the #FearlessOctober1, the organisers said the demonstration was a continuation of the #Endbadgovernance protest, which took place from August 1 to 10.

    They added that the latest demonstration was necessitated by the failure of the Federal Government to address their demands, which include hunger in the land, the rising cost of hunger, insecurity, government wastefulness, electoral reforms, and human capital development amongst others.
