As the Hunger Protest reaches its peak on Saturday, Abuja is seeing a significant increase in police presence. Hundreds of operatives from the Nigeria Police Force have been strategically deployed to key locations throughout the capital.

The heightened security measures were put in place on Friday evening to manage the anticipated climax of the demonstrations.

In preparation, major entry points to high-profile areas such as Eagle Square, the Federal Secretariat, the National Assembly Complex, the Supreme Court, and the Presidential Villa, which are all situated within the Three Arms Zone, have been reinforced with multiple security checkpoints.

This increased vigilance extends to major roads leading to the MKO Abiola Stadium, initially designated as the main venue for the #EndBadGovernance protests.

On Friday, the protest organizers announced plans to stage a one-million-man march across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, marking the culmination of their demonstrations.

The demonstrations have become increasingly violent in several states, including Kano, Plateau, Niger, Jigawa, Gombe, Bauchi, Yobe, and Borno.

Reports indicate that at least 15 individuals have been killed, numerous others injured, and several properties damaged during the unrest.

It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
