Day two of the "#10daysofrage" protests against poor governance and economic hardship in Nigeria has commenced, with demonstrators taking to the streets across major states. However, the peaceful protests turned violent in several areas, resulting in destruction of properties, injuries, and arrests.

On Thursday, the first day of protests, violence erupted in Kano, Gombe, Yobe, Abuja, and Niger states, with at least one confirmed death in Suleja, Niger State. Journalists were also targeted, with two arrested in Abuja, including a PREMIUM TIMES reporter who was beaten and had his phone seized.

Today, protesters are expected to continue their demonstrations, despite the violent clashes with security forces. The protests have highlighted the growing frustration among Nigerians with the country's economic hardship and poor governance.

In Abuja, protesters were met with tear gas and violence as they attempted to access the Eagle Square ground. In Kano and Gombe states, youths armed with dangerous weapons invaded stores and looted businesses, leading to injuries and destruction.

The protests have sparked concerns about the safety of citizens and the ability of security forces to manage the situation without resorting to violence. As the demonstrations continue, Nigerians are calling for an end to bad governance and economic hardship, and for their voices to be heard.
