Police Fire Tear Gas to Disperse #FearlessInOctober Protesters at Utako Market in Abuja


Officers of the Nigeria Police Force have fired tear gas at #FearlessInOctober protesters gathered at Utako Market in Abuja on October 1, 2024. The demonstration, which began early in the morning, aimed to address the economic hardships faced by Nigerians due to government policies. However, police swiftly intervened around 8:54 a.m., dispersing the crowd and causing chaos as demonstrators fled from the tear gas fumes.


The protest is a continuation of the earlier #EndBadGovernance demonstrations held in August, reflecting widespread discontent over rising living costs and government inefficiencies. Organizers, including civil society groups like the Take It Back Movement, expressed their determination to voice grievances despite the police's aggressive response. Eyewitnesses reported that protesters chanted slogans and displayed placards demanding action on issues such as high electricity tariffs and fuel prices.


In response to the police action, Damilare Adenola, a leader of the Take It Back Movement, stated that they would regroup and continue their fight for justice. The heavy police presence and use of tear gas have drawn criticism from activists who argue that such measures infringe upon citizens' rights to peaceful assembly.


As Nigeria marks its Independence Day amidst protests, the situation highlights a growing divide between citizens seeking accountability and a government facing mounting pressure to respond to public grievances.
