See What Nigeria Soldiers Are Doing in Abuja over #ENDSARS protests
Nigeria soldiers Monday morning took over key locations and streets in Abuja to prevent the #EndSARS protesters from converging.
The protests in Abuja have in some cases got out of hand with suspected hoodlums attacking protesters as well as pro-SARS groups.
The situation has often led to clashes that leave several persons injured with vehicles and other property damaged.
There have been reports that a protester, who was stabbed by one of such hoodlums, died in a hospital.

They mounted barricades as they tried to manage the situation.
There were reports of similar scenarios in other parts of the city as the protesters divide themselves into groups and operate from various locations.
