Soldiers take on hoodlums who pose as #ENDSARS protesters
...Three feared dead
By Ben Ogbemudia, Abuja
Protesting hoodlums who posed as #ENDSARS as at Sokale, Dutse Alhaji and the FO1 area of Kubwa were on Tuesday morning, dispersed by armed soldiers.
The troops were said to have shot into the air to disperse the #EndSARS protesters, who had gathered to begin the day’s protest.
While passers-by scampered for safety, residents who were still in their homes immediately shut their doors.
Motorists and commuters on the Bwari-Dutse Alhaji road were stranded by the ensuing traffic jam.
The protesters had erected a barricade at the Sokale roundabout and Winners road in preparation for the rally when the security operatives aborted their protest.
About three persons have been confirmed dead at Sokale area of Dutse in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) as some people in support of #ENDSARS and those against engaged in violent clashes.
Findings also indicate that the Kuje axis of the Federal Capital Territory has again been blocked by #EndSARS activists barely 24 hours after they barricaded the road and were chased away by suspected hoodlums.
Our correspondent reports that Kuje residents are currently struggling to beat the gridlock in the area.
