DAY 4: Angry protesters storm AIT office, Alagbado

As the nationwide strike called by the Labour and civil society groups to protest the removal of fuel subsidy by the federal government enters its fourth day, angry protesters, this morning stormed the premises of African Independent Television, AIT, Alagbado, Lagos, demanding to be heard first-hand.

The protesters who came in their thousands carrying placards with various inscriptions accused the TV station of imbalance reportage.

They said they were not satisfied the way AIT was reporting the protest and demanded to be given audience.

The protesters, mostly youths threw stones and pebbles into the compound when they were refused entrance by the security personnel and staff of the station.

However, calm seemed to be returning as the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr Samuel Jinadu….who had come for a television programme at AIT was calming them down
