#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria Protests Day 5 (LIVE UPDATES)

By   Milcah   Tanimu

Today marks the fifth day of the nationwide protests demanding economic and political reforms in Nigeria. The demonstrations, which began on Thursday, have been held in several states and have sometimes turned violent, leading to curfews imposed by state governments.

Protesters’ Demands Remain Unmet
Protesters continue to demand the reversal of the removal of petrol subsidies and a reduction in the salaries and allowances of public officials. Despite President Bola Tinubu’s televised address urging an end to the protests, there have been no significant concessions from the government.

Business Disruptions
The protests have impacted business operations, with many banks and grocery stores closing on Thursday and Friday. Although some businesses reopened over the weekend, the protests have left their mark.

Heavy Police Presence in Lagos
In Lagos, there is a heavy police presence at Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park, Ojota. The park was scheduled to open at 8 AM, but no protesters were visible early in the day.

Altercation at the Park
By 10:27 AM, a brief altercation occurred between protesters and a man towing a vehicle belonging to one of the demonstrators. The police had previously shut the park, preventing access for the protesters.
