In Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), tear gas was used to disperse protesters.
On Monday morning, the protesters gathered in the Maitama neighborhood of the nation’s capital to voice their grievances, and many of them fled for safety as tear gas canisters were dispersed.
The protest, which is a part of a nationwide demonstration spearheaded by the Take-It-Back Movement and other civil society organizations, got underway earlier in the day to draw attention to a number of pressing national issues.
The organizers’ main concerns, in their opinion, are the country’s worsening economic hardship, the alleged misuse of the Cybercrime Act, and President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of emergency on Rivers State.

Omoyele Sowore, a human rights activist and former presidential candidate, also showed her support for the movement at the demonstration site.
