One person has been reported injured on Tuesday, in Abuja, when policemen fired tear gas canisters at protesters.
The protesters, who started yesterday are demanding the return of President Muhammadu Buhari who has been on medical leave in London, the United Kingdom since May 07, 2017.
The wounded citizen has since been taken to a clinic at the Federal Secretariat complex, a few kilometres from the scene of the incident.
The group were having their sit-out at the Millennium Park opposite the Unity Fountain, Maitama, Abuja when the armed policemen fired tear gas canisters to disperse them.
The participants, however, braved the assault and continued with their meeting for about an hour.
The protesters who are members of about four civil society organizations are demanding that Buhari should return to the country or resign if he was incapacitated.
