The protesters are currently marching along the Abuja-Kaduna expressway in the Suleja Local Government Area, chanting anti-government slogans.
State governors and President Bola Tinubu have repeatedly appealed to youths to cancel the August 1-10 demonstrations. Additionally, law enforcement agencies have warned that the protests could be hijacked by hoodlums and “unscrupulous agents.”
