Mother with baby confronts police after teargas, pepper spray used on protesters

During a protest at Eagles Square in Abuja, Nigeria, police officers used teargas and pepper spray to disperse demonstrators. The incident occurred around 10:30 am, when police first fired non-lethal warning shots into the ground before releasing teargas canisters.

In a dramatic moment, a protester holding a baby confronted the officers, challenging them to shoot. Her actions prompted other protesters to join her, also confronting the police and daring them to use force. In response, the police escalated their actions by deploying pepper spray and more teargas to disperse the crowd.

As of the time this report was filed, it remains unclear whether the woman who confronted the officers with her baby has been arrested."
