Live Updates; Day 6 of Strike in Lagos #occupynigeria

LAGOS: 9.20AM…Residents of Lagos woke up this morning to a heavily security clamp down as armed soldiers were seen manning strategic points across the city.

It is clear that the ever popular mass rally, which throughout last week took place at the Gani Fawehinmi Square, Ojota, may not hold as the area is swamped with security operatives including armed soldiers.

However, the city is still deserted as commercial activity is virtually none existent with offices, banks and government institutions remaining shut.

ABUJA: 9.47AM:…While there is not a very noticeable army presence in the federal capital, the city still remains a virtual ghost town with most shops and offices yet to open.

Transcop Hilton, which used to be very busy before the strike action began last week, is still recording low patronage, ditto for Sheraton Hotel.
