The protest by the Organised Labour against the “anti-people” policies of the President Bola Tinubu administration is getting intense as protesters, on Wednesday, morning broke down the first gate of the National Assembly (NASS) complex and forced their way into the premises.

The protesters subsequently moved to the second gate of the Assembly Complex even as Senators immediately entered a closed-door session.
