Police operations on Monday disbanded young people who protested current economic difficulties and other problems in the country with tear gas in Abuja and Port Harcourt.

In Abuja, the dancing protesters were in music and carrying placards with various inscriptions such as “Let’s breathe,” and stop oppression, “among others.

At Ikeja under the bridge in Lagos, the protesters gathered there at the beginning of 7:00 in the morning, to express their displeasure with the incident in the country.

TIB, in a statement issued on Friday by its national coordinator, Juwon Sanyaolu, said the protest would continue to stop the country further sliding to the anarchy.
