Armed thugs on Wednesday attacked Nigerians protesting against police brutality in Abuja.
Carrying cutlasses, they inflicted injuries on some of the #EndSARS protesters who gathered at Berger roundabout. The number of casualties was not immediately clear.
About five vehicles were also damaged in the fracas.
The protesters, however, regrouped within minutes and started chasing the thugs away.
The incident comes after thugs were sighted destroying vehicles at midnight in Yaba, Lagos.
One of the protesters in Abuja told TheCable: “The Fulani youth arrived as we were gathered here and started chasing everybody with matchet and destroying cars.”
