Nigerians Protest in Lagos on Democracy Day Due of Hardship
During the 2025 Democracy Day celebration, many Nigerians took to the streets of Lagos to express their frustration over the economic struggles under President Bola Tinubu’s government. The protest, which began at the Ikeja Underbridge, saw citizens calling for a reversal of several government policies they believe are worsening their situation.
Despite a strong security presence, the demonstrators held up signs with messages like “Reverse Electricity Tariff Hike” and “No one deserves a death sentence for protesting against hunger.”
Lagos State Police PRO, Benjamin Hundeyin, acknowledged the protest and assured the public that everything is under control. He said there’s enough security in place for both those celebrating and those protesting, adding that the safety of everyone remains a top priority.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
