Buhari asks youths to stop protests, approach negotiation table

Residents of Abuja today, defied the ban placed on protests in the city by the Federal Capital Territory Authority, FCTA, who blamed a possible spike in Covid-19 to street protests. The #Endsars protesters trooped out en masse calling for police reforms in the country and an end to Nigeria’s dreaded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and subsequently blocked the Abuja Airport Road.

The protesters, mostly youth, took their campaign to the FCT Airport Road which serves as a major entrance and exit to the capital city on Friday afternoon.

The campaign, which has drawn attention from different parts of the world, has been on for over a week.
