Protesters launched demonstrations on Tuesday, October 1, with the organisers saying they were against “the devastation, hunger, insecurity and the hardship that this government has unleashed on Nigerians”.

Similar protests took place in early August. At least 21 people were killed in the demonstrations, while hundreds of others were arrested and charged with treason, looting and vandalism.
