After a brief lull in the Federal Capital Territory, protesters have once again taken to the streets on Saturday. The demonstrations, which had been paused due to recent raids on homes and the arrest of organizers, are now in full swing. Originally initiated on August 1, the protest is planned to culminate today with a large-scale, one million-man march across the country.
In preparation for today’s events, security measures have been heightened, particularly around the Central Business District and Eagles Square. Observers noted a significant increase in security personnel stationed at these key locations, a sharp contrast to the previous three days when protests had subsided. Starting early at 7 a.m., protesters are chanting slogans such as “End hunger” and “Reverse fuel subsidy removal,” reflecting their demands for urgent governmental action.
