Protests have erupted in Abuja as residents took to the streets of Wuse Zone 5, blocking roads around Mobassa Street with burning tyres.
According to a local resident, the demonstration followed a security raid targeting drug dealers in the area, which reportedly left one person severely injured.
“The security agents conducted a raid, and during the operation, there was a gunshot,” the resident stated, noting that an individual appeared to have been shot during the incident.
According to ICIR, the area, described by the resident as a hotspot for drug-related activities, has reportedly drawn numerous patrons over time.
“That’s a notorious place for all kinds of drugs, and lots of people patronise them,” the resident added
In response to the incident, protesters lit bonfires with tyres, barricading the streets in a bold display of defiance.
