Security operatives have dispersed protesters in the Karu area of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, after several attempts
The protesters were said to have started assembling when security agents went after them and arrested three.
An eyewitness, Ibrahim Sani, said the police had to fire teargas to calm the situation before arrests were made.
“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,” he said
It was gathered that security operatives are everywhere in the nation’s capital to monitor the situation and prevent the breakdown of law and order.
There had been an increased vehicular movement on day five of the nationwide protests in FCT, however, government offices are still deserted.
It was also observed that the Federal secretariat in Abuja is open, but most officials of Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs, are few in the offices.
This may not be unconnected with the fear that protesters may return and clash with security operatives.
Similarly, security personnel were said to have also fired teargas at protesters at the Moshood Abiola Stadium over agitation to move to town.
