Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have fired teargas at peaceful June 12 protesters gathered at the Gani Fawehinmi Park in Ojota on Saturday.

The peaceful protesters were protesting against bad governance and insecurity when the police officers attacked them with tear-gassed and gunshots.

It was gathered that the protesters quickly took to their heels as the fierce-looking officers advanced shooting canisters of tear gas at them.

The police officers, however, arrested some protesters at the venue of the June 12 Democracy Day protest.
