Nigerian activist, Omoyele Sowore has joined the ongoing protest against hunger in Lagos State.

Sowore, who is one of the organisers of the protest, arrived at the protest ground at the Ikeja Underbridge area of the state around 8:50am.

Protesters, on Tuesday morning, gathered at the Ikeja Underbridge in Lagos State as the country marks the 64th Independence Day.

The protest, however, is being closely monitored by a large contingent of security personnel, including policemen, officials of the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.
