On Monday, protests persisted across Nigeria despite the President’s address on Sunday. Demonstrations were reported in major cities including Lagos, Kaduna, Bauchi, Katsina, and the Federal Capital Territory.
In Lagos, protests turned violent when hoodlums attacked demonstrators at around noon. In some northern regions, protesters were seen displaying Russian flags, adding a new dimension to the unrest. In Lagos’ Ojota area, a unique protest feature included a dog used as a symbol against hunger, highlighting the broader socio-economic issues driving the demonstrations.
