#BuhariMustGo Protesters Block Airport Road, Make Bonfire in Abuja
Angry Nigerians comprising mostly of youths have blocked the Airport Road in Abuja, in a protest against bad governance and insecurity in the country.
The protesters took to the streets on Monday morning, staging a peaceful protest in demand for better governance.
The protesters took to the Dantata Bridge, and other major entrance and exit points to the capital city as early as 5:00am, chanting #BuhariMustGo.
They also barricaded the Expressway with bonfire, preventing vehicular movement along the road.
The protesters, who displayed placards with varying inscriptions had protested on June 12, Nigeria’s new Democracy Day, but were violently dispersed by a combined team of armed security operatives at Gudu junction as they were teargassed.
They demand for an end to insecurity, bad governance, corruption, impunity and reversal of suspension on Twitter, among others.
The #BuhariMustGo campaign has drawn attention from different parts of the country with protests calling for the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari.
