Nigerians who are frustrated with the economic hardships inflicted by the administration of President Bola Tinubu have taken to the streets of Lagos as part of the 2025 Democracy Day event.
The protesters, who converged at the Ikeja Underbridge, are demanding the reversal of some policies of the present administration.
Despite the presence of security operatives, the protesters were seen displaying placards with various inscriptions such as “Reverse Electricity Tariff Hike”, “No one deserves a death sentence for protesting against hunger”, among others.
The Police Public Relations Officer of Lagos State, Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the ongoing protest, said there was no cause for alarm.
He said, “Adequate security on ground for celebrants and protesters alike. No cause for alarm. Your safety and security remain our priority.”
