The MKO Abiola Stadium is the designated venue for the protests in the nation’s capital. A court order had restrained the #EndBadGovernance demonstrators from using other areas.

On Friday, tear gas canisters were also fired at the protesters when they gathered in the Berger roundabout area of the FCT.

But the rallies are continuing – although there is a reduction in the number of demonstrators – in other parts of the country. Lagos, Benin City in Edo State, and Port Harcourt in Rivers State are also witnessing protests.
