A large portion of protesters are currently marching on a major road in Kugbo, Asokoro in Abuja Municipal Council Area (AMAC) located in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The demonstrators refused to retreat despite heavy gunfire and teargas from security forces, marching on in hundreds.
Earlier on, a Federal High Court in Abuja had restricted protesters to Moshood Abiola Stadium. It became clear that they persisted and assembled at different points around the capital.
The Asokoro area, sometimes referred to as Aso Drive, houses Nigeria’s seat of power, government establishments, military barracks as well as head office of the Department of State Services (DSS).
Protesters also convened at Karu, Nyanya and Mararaba area of Abuja.
