June 12: Sharing Of Money Tears #IStandWithBuhari Protesters Apart

There was a fight among members of #IStandWithBuhari protest group at the Unity Fountain, Abuja on Saturday over how much is to be shared.

It was gathered that leaders of the group engaged in a heated exchange of words over the sharing of monetary resources meant for organising the counter protests.

Hundreds of pro-Buhari supporters had arrived at the Unity Fountain on Saturday to show their solidarity with President Muhammadu Buhari.

Many Nigerians had come out in the early hours of Saturday toprotests in various states across the country and in the diaspora on Saturday, in commemoration of Democracy Day.

Several digital flyers, widely circulated on social media on Friday, publicised meeting points in Lagos, Gombe, Calabar (Cross River), Yola (Adamawa), Bauchi, Abeokuta (Ogun), Yenagoa (Bayelsa), Port Harcourt (Rivers), Ibadan (Oyo), Ilorin (Kwara), Enugu, Akure (Ondo), Yobe, and Zaria (Kaduna).

Security agencies, including the police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and the Department of State Services have deployed undercover agencies to prevent a breakdown of law and order during the June 12 protests.

Findings indicate that intelligence operatives have also infiltrated the various groups organising the nationwide rallies meant to call government attention to the deteriorating security situation in the country.
