Security operatives have dispersed protesters in the Karu area of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, after several attempts<\/p>\n

The protesters were said to have started assembling when security agents went after them and arrested three.<\/p>\n

An eyewitness, Ibrahim Sani, said the police had to fire teargas to calm the situation before arrests were made.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was shocked when I saw some people gathering at Karu. I thought the gathering was supposed to be in town. The police came and dispersed the protesters with teargas. They arrested about three people that I saw,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

It was gathered that security operatives are everywhere in the nation\u2019s capital to monitor the situation and prevent the breakdown of law and order.<\/p>\n

There had been an increased vehicular movement on day five of the nationwide protests in FCT, however, government offices are still deserted.<\/p>\n

It was also observed that the Federal secretariat in Abuja is open, but most officials of Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs, are few in the offices.<\/p>\n

This may not be unconnected with the fear that protesters may return and clash with security operatives.<\/p>\n

Similarly, security personnel were said to have also fired teargas at protesters at the Moshood Abiola Stadium over agitation to move to town.<\/p>\n
