In a surprising display of solidarity, police officers handed out water to protesters on Tuesday.

A video shared by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, on X.com, showed police officers distributing packs of plastic water to the demonstrators.

The media reports that the protesters had converged at the Ikeja Underbridge in Lagos State as the country marks the 2024 Independence Day to protest the hardship faced by Nigerians occasioned by government policies and programs.
