By KEHINDE AKINTOLA, Abuja

Hundreds of tensed looking protesters at about 12:35 pm, on Tuesday, took over the main entrance of National Assembly complex in support of SWAT.

The protesters who embarked on a procession from the Unity Fountain beside Transcorp Hilton Hotel were armed with clubs, iron and other harmful gadgets.

Few minutes after arriving at the National Assembly complex, they blocked major roads leading thereby preventing the free flow of vehicles.

In the bid to avoid break down of law and order around the National Assembly, the security operatives shut down the National Assembly main gate as staff and other visitors diverted to the SGF gate.

Meanwhile, report from Dutse area of Bwari Area Council, indicated that no fewer than three youths died during the clash between the #EndSARS protesters and Pro-SWAT group. (Nigerian Tribune)
