Men of the Nigeria Police on Saturday shot at media reporters and protesters at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja, during the ongoing Nationwide Hardship Protest.

Reports say the police opened fire on protesters, mostly youths who had gathered in front of the stadium for the day three of the 10-day protest to end bad governance and hardship in Nigeria.

It was gathered that the heavily armed men upon arrival at the venue around 11:45am, ordered them to leave.

Following their refusal to obey the order, the policemen opened fire on the protesters, including journalists at the venue.

This was shortly after the heavily armed police officers positioned at the main entrance of the stadium fired tear gas at the protesters.

According to reports, about 12:15 p.m, an official of the SSS, wearing a black mask, cracked his rifle and moved towards journalists covering the protests. Then he started firing.

The pellets of the bullets rattled the windscreen of one Sienna vehicle, while three bullets pierced the trunk of the car conveying journalists deployed to cover the protests.
