Angry protesters on Friday stormed Area 1 in Abuja and tore down posters and banners bearing the image of President Bola Tinubu.
Footage of the incident, which has now gone viral on social media, showed the protesters pulling down the campaign materials, stepping on them and chanting "Tinubu Must Go" as onlookers watched.
According to report, the protesters, mostly youths, moved around the busy Area 1 axis, pulling off posters pasted on walls, shops and poles, before tearing the big banners into pieces.
Some of the protesters were also heard complaining about hardship, hunger and insecurity in the country.
It was not immediately clear what triggered the protest at Area 1, one of the busiest commercial areas in the Federal Capital Territory.
The incident comes at a time when similar videos of youths tearing down Tinubu's posters and billboards have been circulating from different parts of the country.
It also comes days after the Inspector-General of Police warned against the deliberate destruction, defacement or unlawful removal of political campaign materials, saying such acts are criminal offences punishable by law.
