Protesters have pulled down the first gate of the National Assembly complex in Abuja and forced their way into the premises.

The Nation reports that the Presidents of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) are leading the anti – poor and subsidy removal protest in Abuja on Wednesday.

In their hundreds, the protesters convened at the Unity Fountain from where they marched to the NASS Complex as early as 7am.
