Although a lot of interventions and pacification were put into pre empting the street actions,the turn out went on none the less.
The Lagos protesters did not only heed to the court injunctions to restrict their actions to the FREEDOM and GANI FAWEHINMI PARKS,they maintained a lot of control and decorum by not being Lawless.
Their decision to organise a DJ to have FELA'S music playing in the background turned out to be the sedative and soothing balm that ensured that their temper was calm,at least on the first day.
The Nigerian Police Force and the Civil Defenders should also get the Credit of being the TRUE FRIENDS OF THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE,in Lagos only.
