Nigerian Police Defend Tear-Gassing of Nnamdi Kanu Protesters in Abuja
The Nigerian Police Force headquarters has justified the use of tear gas to disperse protesters in Abuja demanding the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). The protests occurred in sensitive areas like the Three Arm Zone, prompting the police to intervene citing legal restrictions on protests in such locations.
The action was taken to prevent a breach of court orders restricting protests near key national institutions like the Aso Villa and the National Assembly.
