One person was injured on Tuesday in Abuja when policemen
fired tear gas canisters at protesters demanding the return of President
Muhammadu Buhari who had been on medical leave in London, United Kingdom since
May 2017.
The wounded citizen was taken to a clinic at the
Federal Secretariat complex, a few kilometres from the scene of the incident.
But the extent of his injuries could not be
immediately ascertained
The coalition members were having their sit-out at
the Millennium park opposite the Unity Fountain, Maitama, Abuja when the armed
policemen fired tear gas canisters to disperse them.
The participants, however, braved the assault and
continued with their meeting for about an hour.
The protesters who are members of about four civil
society organizations were demanding that Buhari should return to the country
or resign if he was incapacitated.
