Men of the Lagos State Police Command on Saturday morning fired several shots into the air in a bid to stop protesters who gathered at the Gani Fawehinmi Park in Lagos, the venue of the June 12 Democracy Day protest.

The security operatives also arrested Adeola Oladipupo, a journalist with the Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ).
