Police in Rivers State fired teargas at protesters gathered at the Isaac Boro Park in Port Harcourt, the state capital, on Monday.
When the ‘Take It Back Movement’ protesters assembled at the protest venue, they were met with a heavy police presence.
“Nobody can tell us where not to gather, we are Rivers people,” the young demonstrators told the policemen who warned them not to hold the protest.
Policemen gave the protesters a hot chase and beat up some of them including journalists reporting the event.
