Hoodlums on Sunday chased away all the protesters in Ojota,Lagos State and policemen have occupied the protest ground.
The protesters who gathered around the Gani Fawehinmi Park, chanting solidarity songs, shortly after President Bola Tinubu’s address to the nation stated that the president has not addressed core issues raised by them, despite touching on efforts by his administration.
A lawyer, that was on ground monitoring the protest, who prefered to be identified as JP, came to address the protesters to leave the protest ground, on the basis that President Bola Tinubu has addressed the nation.
But another group led by 70-year-old Adegboyega Adeniji of Peace Action Transformation insists on remaining on the protest ground until further notice.
The police however, barred protesters who are in their small numbers from holding a procession beyond the designated ground at Gani Fawehinmi park, Ojota.
The protesters complied without argument and returned to the designated point.
Shortly after the police addressed the protesters, a group, the protesters claimed, was state-sponsored, came from the other side of the road to disperse them.
The police had earlier addressed the small group of protesters, urging them to leave after a major disagreement played out amongst organisers of the protest at Ojota.
