Police open fire on protesters at MKO Abiola Stadium

On Saturday, Nigerian police opened fire on protesters and journalists at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja during an "End Hunger" protest.

Recall that Allnews.ng reported how the protest which began August 1 was marred with violence which led to the humongous destruction of properties. 

According to DAILY POST, the protest, primarily involving youths, marked the third day of a ten-day campaign against bad governance in Nigeria. 

Heavily armed police officers arrived at the venue around 11:45 am and ordered the protesters to disperse.

When the protesters refused to comply, the police opened fire, targeting both protesters and journalists present at the scene.
