Ahead of nationwide protests against poor governance starting August 1, a concerning video has emerged showing thugs intimidating market traders on Lagos Island.
The footage, which has been widely circulated, shows the thugs moving through the market and threatening traders with severe consequences if they do not comply with their demands.
One of the individuals in the video is heard warning,
"Nigerians, you are not the only people hungry. Do not come out on August 1st to protest. Well, if you get the mind to come out, see what will happen to you."
This comes amid several calls from the government, religious leaders, and civil society organisations to shelve the anticipated protest.
