Video: Man Goes Naked During Hunger Protest In Lagos



As Nigerians hit the streets across the nation to protest economic hardship, a yet-to-be-identified man stripped himself naked in protest over hunger biting his family.

 The man took off his clothes and walked the street of Ojota,  alongside other protesters, naked and singing “Solidarity forever“.

Nigerians embarked on #EndbadgovernanceinNigeria protest today (Thursday) to call attention to severe hardship and hunger caused by President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies.

Lagos residents defied government order, obtained from court, confining the protesters to some areas.

Meanwhile, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project( SERAP) has warned security agencies against the use of force on peaceful protesters.

SERAP’s statement followed reports of shooting teargas canisters in Borno, Lagos and Abuja by police on peaceful protesters.

We condemn reports that Nigeria Police are firing tear gas at peaceful protesters in some parts of Nigeria. Nigerian authorities should respect the right to peaceful protest and allow Nigerians to demonstrate peacefully and journalists to report on the protests.

The overall approach to policing of protests should be guided by the concept of facilitation of the protests and should not from the outset be shaped by the anticipation of violence and use of force,” SERAP wrote on X, on Thursday.
