Protesters at Gani Fawehinmi Park, Ojota, Lagos
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Monday is the fifth day of the ongoing 10-day nationwide protests called by organisers to demand economic and political reforms in Nigeria.
The protests, which began on Thursday, have been held in several states but have turned violent in some, leading to the imposition of curfews by the state governments.
In places like Abuja where the protests have been peaceful, the police have used tear gas and live bullets to disperse protesters.
The protests continued on Sunday despite a televised broadcast by President Bola Tinubu where he called for an end to protests without making any tangible concessions.
Some of the demands of the protesters include the reversal of the removal of petrol subsidies and a slash in the salaries and allowances of public officials.
The protests led to the closure of many businesses, including banks and grocery stores, on Thursday and Friday. However, many businesses opened over the weekend as the protests grew thinner on Sunday.
