Many Nigerians came out today to protest, asking for better leadership and an end to the difficult living conditions in the country. People are feeling the pressure of the economy, and they want the government to take action.

The protests happened on June 12, which is known as Democracy Day in Nigeria. It’s a day when citizens remember the importance of democracy and reflect on how the country is being run.

In Lagos, several civil society groups and supporters of democracy gathered under the Ikeja Bridge. They showed up in large numbers to express their frustration and to make their voices heard.

People in Akure, the capital of Ondo State, also joined the protest. They came out with the same message—calling for change, accountability, and solutions to the economic hardship.

One of the groups involved, the Take It Back Movement, shared videos from different protest locations. These clips showed people marching peacefully and holding up signs with their demands.

The protesters carried banners and placards that clearly stated what they wanted. Their messages included calls for good governance, fair treatment, and an end to suffering.

In Lagos, many police officers were seen around the protest site near Ikeja Under Bridge. Officers from the Area F Division were present early in the morning to monitor the situation as people began to gather.
