Police Teargas Take-It-Back Protesters In Abuja

The Nigeria police on Monday fired tear gas at peaceful protesters in the Maitama area of Abuja, as demonstrators took to the streets to demand urgent government action on worsening economic conditions, rising repression, and the alleged misuse of the Cybercrime Act.
The protest, which was part of a nationwide demonstration organized by the Take-It-Back Movement in collaboration with several civil society organizations, coincided with the National Police Day celebrations held at the Eagle Square.
Authorities, as part of the security arrangements for the official event, had placed a blockade around the Three Arms Zone, where top police officials were expected to attend the ceremony honoring the service of the Nigeria Police Force.

National Coordinator of the Take-It-Back Movement, Juwon Sanyaolu, who led the mobilisation, highlighted the key issues fueling the protest.
