Over 127 civil society organisations (CSOs) Friday stormed the National Assembly and some major streets in Abuja, protesting against the rising insecurity and general state of the country.
The protesters urged President Muhammadu Buhari and the National Assembly to take urgent steps to secure the lives and property of Nigerians as a result of the incessant violence across the country.
