The ongoing protest against insecurity in Northern region tagged #NorthIsBleeding, on Wednesday, again hit the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Some videos obtained by Oriental Times show how the protesters were being brutalised and harassed by police officers.

But despite police presence, the protesters repeatedly chanted, “Buhari is a terrorist”, “Buhari is a bandit”, “Buhari is a failure” to show their disapproval of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

One of them explained that a Divisional Police Officer asked his men to ensure the arrest of at least one protester, to discourage others from going ahead with the protest.

According to activist, Omoyele Sowore, the protest was going on peacefully before police officers arrived at the venue with thugs to attack and coerce protesters to forsake the cause.

He noted that about three of the protesters were thereafter arrested by the police.

He said, “#NorthlsBleeding Protest hit Abuja today and it was going on peacefully until @nigeria Police Force came with thugs to attack/brutalise protesters and arrest some three protesters @muhammadu Buhari Is a real disaster. #SecureNorth #Revolutionnow #BuhariMustGo.”

Using the hashtag #NorthIsBleeding, some Nigerians from the Northern part of the country have since last week taken to Twitter, a microblogging and social networking service, to demand Buhari’s resignation over his failure to combat worsening insecurity in the region.
