and used pepper spray to disperse protesters who were gathered
around the service headquarters to demand for the release of
Omoyele Sowore on Tuesday.
The protesters who were carrying several placards were rounding
up their sit out when the incident occurred.
Convener of the protest, Deji Adeyanju was addressing the media
on the reason behind the protest when truck loads of operatives
some with masks arrived the scene and chased them away.
On sighting some of the protesters who defied the disperse
order, an operative pulled out his service pistol and shot several
rounds into the air.
Shortly afterwards, another operative used pepper spray to force
those who were seated to flee.
In the ensuing melee, some of the protesters left behind their
placards, pairs of shoes and some personal effects.
