Police operatives have dispersed #FearlessInOctober protesters at the Utako market area of Abuja, using tear gas to break up the procession.
The demonstration, aimed at raising awareness of pressing social issues, faced a heavy police presence that escalated into clashes.
A video posted on X by News Central Television shows demonstrators running away after the tear gas canisters were released into the air by the police operatives.
