As the nation marks the 2025 Democracy Day, some Nigerians have taken to the streets of Lagos in protest against economic hardship.
The protesters, who converged at the Ikeja Underbridge, are calling on the government to reverse of some its policies.
Despite the presence of security operatives, the protesters were seen displaying placards with various inscriptions such as “Reverse Electricity Tariff Hike”, “No one deserves a death sentence for protesting against hunger”, among others.
The Police Public Relations Officer of Lagos State, Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the ongoing protest, said there was no cause for alarm.
He said, “Adequate security on ground for celebrants and protesters alike. No cause for alarm. Your safety and security remain our priority.
Also there was another group of pro government youths who praised the ongoing reforms of the President Tinubu Administration and its major projects.
