Amidst the heavy presence of armed security operatives in the nation’s capital, #EndSars protesters still defied them to embark on their planned demonstration.
The demonstrators carrying the national flag converged at the Aya roundabout in continuation of their planned protest.
While policemen cordoned off parts of the Three Arms Zone, Ralph Shodeinde Street, soldiers were stationed at strategic parts of the Goodluck E. Jonathan Expressway through AYA Roundabout to the headquarters of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The heavily armed soldiers, many of whom were wearing black face masks, barricaded sections of the expressway.
The #EndSARS protests, aimed at stopping police brutality, have been raging in different parts of the country for over 10 days.
The protests have continued despite the disbanding of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad which was accused of perpetrating most of the extrajudicial killings.
The protesters are known to cordon off major roads, causing traffic congestion.
They blocked the Airport Road on Friday, causing many to lose their flight while on Saturday they blocked the ever-busy Wuse Market Road.
The United Nations had on Thursday said it was studying the situation closely.
Meanwhile, another set of protesters were also spotted along the Karu, Nyanya, and Maraba axis of Abuja.
