A peaceful #Endbadgovernance protest in Bauchi State was disrupted by Nigerian Police Force operatives today. The protesters, gathered in front of the Emir of Bauchi’s palace, demanded a meeting with the emir but were met with a police barricade.
Despite their insistence on a meeting, the police fired tear gas to disperse the crowd. The youths, undeterred, vowed to continue exercising their constitutional rights.
Eyewitnesses report that the protesters had assembled peacefully, but the police intervention escalated the situation. The incident has raised concerns about the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression in the country.
The #Endbadgovernance movement has been gaining momentum nationwide, with citizens demanding improved governance and accountability from leaders.
