#EndBadGovernance: Security Forces Disperse Protesters, Arrest Three in Abuja

Security operatives have dispersed a group of protesters in the Karu area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, following several attempts. The incident resulted in the arrest of three individuals.

According to eyewitness Ibrahim Sani, the situation escalated when police used teargas to control the crowd before making arrests. “I was shocked when I saw some people gathering at Karu. I thought the gathering was supposed to be in town. The police came and dispersed the protesters with teargas. They arrested about three people that I saw,” Sani reported.

Security presence has been notably heightened across the nation’s capital to monitor and prevent any potential disruption of law and order. This increased vigilance comes amid the fifth day of nationwide protests in the FCT, which have led to a surge in vehicular movement while government offices remain largely deserted.

Observations indicate that while the Federal Secretariat in Abuja is open, attendance among officials in Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) is sparse. This reduced presence is likely due to concerns over possible clashes between protesters and security operatives.
