Supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari have staged a protest in Abuja.
They described last year’s Lekki toll gate #EndSARS protest as a hoax.
Their aim was to counter a parallel protest by some aggrieved Nigerians in FCT seeking justice for the victims of nationwide protests against police brutality.
It was learnt that the pro-Buhari protesters stormed the Unity Fountain ground around 10:30 am immediately after the anti-Buhari protesters left the scene.
They berated the #EndSARS memorial protesters for being too critical of the Buhari government and security agencies.
Bearing banners with inscription such as: ‘EndSARS was an insurrection against the State’, the pro-Buhari group also accused the #EndSARS protesters of presenting Nigeria in a bad light before the world through their mass action in Lagos, Abuja and other major cities.
They further alleged the #EndSARS memorial protest was a ploy to instigate an unlawful change of government.
“We have come here because we found out that some miscreants hiding behind #EndSARS have planned to come here to hold #EndSARS memorial,” one of them said.
