Police officers deployed teargas canisters against protesters gathering at the prominent Berger roundabout in Abuja.
Journalists covering the demonstration were also targeted, with teargas used against them at a different site where they had assembled.
This action underscores the tense and volatile nature of the situation, as both participants and reporters faced similar aggressive measures from the authorities.
The use of teargas by the police highlights the increasing friction between law enforcement and those expressing their dissent, adding to the challenges faced by media personnel in reporting on such events.
