The protesters had earlier blocked the Gudu Junction to protest the state of the nation.
Similar protests were held across the country on Saturday.
The Unity Fountain in Abuja, which is a popular venue for protests in the nation’s capital, had been shy of protesters as of 8:15am.

However, at the Millennium Park just opposite the fountain, a few individuals wearing branded T-shirts with the inscription ‘I Stand With Buhari’ had pooled together.
They were reportedly to later embark on a road walk to mark Democracy Day.
Meanwhile security operatives have barricaded the Gani Fawehinmi Park in Ojota, Lagos, where some residents had planned to stage a protest.
An Armoured Personnel Carrier is stationed at the entrance of the park while armed officers have mounted strategic places around the place.
