According to reports filtering in from Lagos, armed policemen have taken over the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos ahead of the planned protest today, 6th of February, 2017.
The gate has been reportedly closed with the security operatives taking over the road leading to the stadium and refusing citizens from entering the venue.
