Protesters forcefully entered the premises of the National Assembly in Abuja on Wednesday, reacting to the bombing of a village in Kaduna State on Sunday.
The protesters, stationed at the National Assembly entrance gate for over two hours, demanded justice for the victims and urged Minister of Defence Abubakar Badaru to either fulfill his responsibilities or step down.
An unintended airstrike targeting terrorists struck civilians during a religious celebration in Tudun Biri on Sunday night, resulting in a death toll that reportedly rose to 120, according to Amnesty International officials who visited the affected villages.
Nasir Ishaku, the leader of the protesters representing the National Youth Council of Nigeria, North West Zone, and Arewa Youth Movement, emphasized the need for justice, stating, "Nigeria is not well because Nigerians are being killed day by day." He called out the deteriorating security situation, particularly in Northern Nigeria, and criticized the minister's competence, urging him to either fulfill his responsibilities or resign.
