Police provided refreshments for protesters to prevent collapses

The Police Commissioner in Lagos State, Adegoke Fayoade, said the command provided water and biscuits for protesters so as to avoid anyone collapsing on the way.
Fayoade spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on the sidelines of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) nationwide protest carried out on Tuesday.
He said that the journey was a long distance for protesters to trek, coupled with the hot weather, hence the need for at least water and biscuits to give the participants strength for a successful protest.
NAN reports that many protesters were rushing for the refreshments being distributed from patrol vehicles by police personnel on the way.
Fayoade, who described the protest as peaceful, said no one was arrested for any violations during the protest
