The protesters led by the leaders of the Organised Labour, Joe Ajaero of the Nigeria Labour Congress and Festus Osifo of the Trade Union... Congress asked security operatives stationed at the legislative building to open the gates to allow them to the National Assembly. Following the failure of the security officials to adhere, the angry protesters pulled down the gates and thronged into the assembly complex to vent their anger.

NLC should negotiate reducing pump price of petrol to N250/ltr. FG should subsidise 50%; Citizens will pay 50% pending when our refineries will be in place. That is the palliative Nigerians need right now not fake promises from the FG.

That gate should have been thrown open. The National Assembly is the people’s house.

I thought they said peaceful protest…

What else do you want?

Next should be Aso Rock ,so bulaba can feel the heat!

Gate that’ll be reconstructed for 10Bn just Dey play

Is this what they called peaceful protest? NLC started it first, if things turns other way round.

The gate is no longer strong, just there for decoration, it has been badly damaged since the day Saraki plus several legislators scaled it in 2015

I thought it was “peaceful protest” why this?
