Omoyele Sowore, former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has joined the ongoing protest in Lagos.
As one of the main organizers, Sowore arrived at the protest site under the Ikeja Underbridge around 8:50 a.m. on Tuesday.
The protest, coinciding with Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day, drew a crowd of demonstrators at Ikeja Underbridge, where they expressed their grievances. Held under the banner #FearlessOctober1, the protest is taking place amid heightened security, with a strong presence of law enforcement officers.
The demonstration is being closely monitored by a significant number of security personnel, including police officers, members of the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps, and officials from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
