The police, on Saturday, shot teargas to disperse protesters in the Gudu area of Abuja area as the country marked Democracy Day on June 12.
The protesters had earlier blocked the Gudu Junction to protest the state of the nation. The protesters in Gudu district, a satellite town in Abuja, had turned out in their numbers carrying placards and banners with various inscriptions.
One of their major demands was the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari from office.
According to them, the president has failed in addressing the challenges in the country, including that of insecurity.
