Defiant protesters across major states of the federation made good their intention to embark on nationwide protests today, Saturday, June 12 set aside as Democracy Day by the Federal Government.
While some were peaceful, others were violent as police fire teargas to disperse protesters in Abuja and Lagos.
Meanwhile, the protesters were in two factions; for and against President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government. However, TheNewsGuru.com, TNG observed that the anti-Buhari protesters outnumbered those in solidarity with the president.
