The youths comprising of various Civil Society Organisations and
students also asked the 36 senators who had so far collected their own
exotic jeeps to return them immediately or face the wrath of Nigerians.
According to Punch, the angry protesters marched from the Unity
Fountain within the Central Area of the city to the National Assembly, a
journey of about two kilometers and forced their way to the main gate,
defiling all security network mounted by regular and riot police
officers.
The youths forced the main gate closed thereby preventing staff,
lawmakers and visitors from either entering or leaving the premises.
The protesters, armed with placards containing various
inscriptions, vowed to seal off the federal parliament for the initial
three days to see whether their demands would be met. The protest
paralyzed all activities in the National Assembly and vowed to continue
until all their demands were fully met.
