Angry protesters in their hundreds on Wednesday, pulled down the first gate of the National Assembly Complex in Abuja and forced their way into the premises.
The Informant247 gathered that the protesters led by the leaders of the organised labour, Joe Ajaero of the Nigeria Labour Congress and Festus Osifo of the Trade Union Congress asked security operatives stationed at the legislative building to open the gate to allow them express their displeasure over the fuel price hike across the country.
Meanwhile, following the failure of the security officials to adhere, the protesters forcefully pulled down the gate and moved to the second gate of the Assembly Complex.
