In an unusual and symbolic moment during the ongoing #EndBadGovernanceProtest in Abuja, a peaceful protester dressed in a Spiderman costume was arrested by the Nigerian Police Force (NPF).
Eyewitnesses reported that the protester, who had been engaging with the crowd, waving the Nigerian flag, and encouraging peaceful conduct, was suddenly apprehended by police officers. The Spiderman costume, known for its association with heroism and standing up for the oppressed, added a layer of irony to the situation, as the protester was taken into custody for exercising his constitutional rights. The police reportedly did not provide a clear reason for the arrest, further fueling concerns about the arbitrary detention of peaceful demonstrators.
