DSS, Police Operatives Shoot At Vehicle Conveying Journalists In Abuja
Some operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigerian police who invaded the peaceful protest at the Moshood Abiola stadium in Abuja on Saturday shot at a vehicle carrying journalists from The Premium Times and The Cable newspapers.
It was earlier reported that hundreds of civilian protesters were attacked and raided from the venue by lawless operatives of the Nigerian police.
“They shot at us three times, it was God that saved us. The bullets hit the bumper of the car that conveyed us down there,” one of the journalists said.
The protesters and journalists had assembled calmly before the police violently disrupted them with teargas canisters on Saturday morning.
It was also reported that at least six vehicles loaded with masked operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have taken over the Moshood Abiola stadium in Abuja where the #Endbadgovernance protest started on Saturday.
“Six vehicles loaded with DSS and soldiers have chased away the peaceful protesters. This is the brand of democracy Bola Tinubu has given to Nigerians.
“Everywhere is tense and the DSS operatives are loading their rifles and threatened to fire at anyone who continues the protest,” a witness said.
