EndBadGovernanceInNigeria: Protesters desert Abuja national stadium, assemble at Berger

The EndBadGovernance protesters in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, have abandoned the Moshood Abiola Stadium and gathered at the popular Berger Roundabout.

An FCT High Court had on Wednesday ordered the protesters to limit their demonstrations to the stadium.

In compliance with the order, the protesters, on Thursday, gathered at the stadium but resisted pressure from security operatives to protest inside the stadium.

Afterwards, the protesters left the stadium and marched in their numbers after reports of other protesters at the Eagles Square being harassed by security operatives.

Upon arrival, the policemen guarding the facility repeatedly used tear gas on them.

Our correspondent, who was at the stadium at 7am on Friday did not see any protester but later learnt that the location had been changed.

As of the time of filing this report, the protesters were assembling at the Berger Roundabout.
