A journalist, Deborah Agbalam was harassed by thugs while attempting to cover the #EndBadGovernance protest in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Wednesday.
It was reported that a group of thugs positioned themselves directly opposite the Federal Secretariat in Port Harcourt, intimidating and chasing away protesters.
According to Eye Witness, two protesters had already been beaten while police officers stood by and did nothing.
The Federal Secretariat on the Port Harcourt /Aba express road has been a gathering point for the protesters for the past seven days of the hunger and end bad governance protest.
The inaction of over 20 police officers, who witnessed these events but did nothing calls to question the security and the protection of the right to protest in Rivers State.
Rivers State Police Commissioner, Olatunji Disu when contacted expressed concern over the incident, promising a thorough investigation to ensure accountability and prevent future occurrences.
Wednesday makes it Day 7 of the nationwide protest which later turned violent in some Northern states of the federation.
