Security operatives disperse Abuja protesters, arrest three
Security operatives, after several attempts, have dispersed protesters in the Karu area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The protesters were just assembling when security agents went after them and arrested three.
An eyewitness, Ibrahim Sani who spoke to our correspondent, said the police had to fire teargas to calm the situation before arrests were made.
He said: “I was shocked when I saw some people gathering at Karu. I thought the gathering was supposed to be in town. The police came and dispersed the protesters with teargas. They arrested about three people that I saw”.
