Police fire live bullets at journalists in Abuja, order protesters to leave FCT

Policemen on Saturday in Abuja fired live bullets at a vehicle conveying journalists and hunger protesters.

There are nationwide protests against hardship worsened by some policies of President Bola Tinubu. The protest started on August 1 but organisers said it would continue until August 10.

The shooting at the Abuja National Stadium where protesters converged ignited panic as journalists and protesters scampered for safety. The police earlier asked the protesters to leave the Federal Capital Territory.
