The protesting group gathered at the early hours of today from the Gudu Area of Abuja heading towards the central business area with banners and placards calling for a better United Nigeria, a clash was recorded as there was a face to face confrontation between the Pro-Democracy Day group and a group of protesters carrying placards and demanding an end to bad governance in the country, seeking “Buhari Must Go” as part of activities marking the June 12 democracy day along Gudu road.
The protesting group was reported to have occupied a section of the road before the arrival of the over populated Pro-Democracy group numbering over one thousand five hundred members who chased the protesters off the road as passerbys witnessed the drama where protesters scampered for safety with some sustaining injuries.
