Nigerian Government Deploys Soldiers to National Assembly Amid Protests
The Nigerian Government has deployed soldiers to the National Assembly complex in Abuja following protests by citizens demanding electoral reforms. The move aims to maintain order and protect lawmakers amidst growing demonstrations over the Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2025.
The protests, led by various civil society groups and political figures, have intensified due to frustrations over perceived exclusions in the bill. Despite the military presence, protests continue to escalate with crowds demanding transparency ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Major roads leading to the National Assembly remain cordoned off as tensions rise.
