| Description | Led by JAF, hundreds of polytechnic students marched from the Yaba College of Education in Lagos, through the Murtala Mohammed Way, to set up a barricade at the Adekunle junction entrance to the Third Mainland Bridge in protest of an ASUP strike. At the bridge, the protesters were met by police who shot gunfire and fired tear gas into the air and made at least 50 arrests. Later, civil society activists condemned the police action. Many observers saw the police force as excessive. |
