Following the economic hardship rocking the country and its people, some youths in their numbers took to the streets at Ojuelegba under- Bridge in Lagos, to protest against the hardship they are facing.
The protesters who were mobilized by a Human Rights Group, ‘Take It Back Movement’, took to the streets lamenting the spike in the price of food and the high cost of living in the country.
The angry protesters who carried placards with different inscriptions sang solidarity songs, calling in the President Bola Tinubu- led Federal Government to take action and address the situation before its worsens.
It would be recalled that the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade had on Sunday, February 25th, warned against any protests of any kind, but these protesters defy the warnings to air their grievances and the lament against the deplorable State of the nation’s economy.
The protest which was a peaceful one, saw officials of the Police on standby, fully armed, monitoring the situation.
The peaceful protest did not disrupt any commercial activities as the protesters stood under the bridge with their placards and were been addressed by their Convener.
They, however, said this is just a tip of the iceberg as, if the situation is not addressed earnestly, they will mobilize more people and take over the streets.
