Police Clash with Protesters at National Assembly

On Tuesday, police fired tear gas at protesters gathered at the National Assembly, who were expressing their grievances against the Senate's approval of electronic transmission and manual collation of election results. The protest took place at the gates of the National Assembly, where demonstrators attempted to forcefully gain entrance to the complex.

In response to confrontations with several protesters, including women, the police deployed tear gas canisters, leading to panic among the crowd. The chaos resulted in an average of one woman reportedly fainting due to inhalation of the tear gas.

The incident highlights the tensions surrounding the ongoing amendments to the electoral process in Nigeria.
