Naija Policemen Protest In Lagos Over Subsidy Removal

Some officers of the Nigeria Police Force in Lagos have joined in the protest following the sudden removal of fuel subsidy.

An eyewitness saw about 300 policemen marching in Oregun and heading towards Alausa, the seat of government in Lagos. The policemen were chanting anti-government slogans.

In a related development, pockets of protesters have successfully staged protests in various parts of Lagos State. Angry protesters took over major roads like Ikorodu Road, various roads around Ojuelegba in Sululere, Mushin and Idioro amongst others.


There are also protests in Kano, Ilorin, Zamfara and Abuja.

A citizen reporter sent us this footage shot using a cell phone as the policemen marched through Oregun road.
