Roads leading to the State House, Ikeja were shutdown as the huge crowd took them over in a peaceful protest, which also took place simultaneously across the nation.
The entrance leading to the State House of Assembly was shut to prevent the protesters from gaining entrance, while government officials received the protesters at the gate.
The protesters were armed with placards, some of which read: “Bring these killers to justice now,” “Enough of this madness,” “Make Nigeria safe again,” “FGN stop the kidnapping,” “Stop this carnage,” among others.
