Armed Policemen Brutalize Journalist, Disperse #EndSARS Protesters With Tear Gas In Abuja

#EndSARS Protesters had on Monday been violently dispersed by armed Policemen in Abuja.

The campaigners who were seen moving massively along the busy Keffi-Abuja Expressway around the Karu axis in the suburb of the nation’s capital were violently dispersed by the armed policemen with the use of tear gas.

It would be recalled that the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, had warned against deployment of force against peaceful protesters.

The police officers, who emerged from under the Karu Bridge, chased the protesters away with horsewhips as they ran for cover in different directions.

There were reports that a journalist was assaulted by the policemen.

Meanwhile, the protesters have also shut down other major roads in Abuja, including the Apo road, causing a massive traffic jam in the area.

Many vehicles on the access roads have been turning back, thereby causing more confusion and worsening the traffic situation.

Residents of Lokogoma District are currently having a hectic time leaving their homes.
