The angry youths carrying placards with inscriptions "Saraki must go, Magu must be confirmed" repeatedly chanted same slogan.

"The demonstration became inevitable because we voted for change in 2015 and the Senate wants to truncate the change mantra by not confirming Ibrahim Magu to continue on vital issues that would benefit Nigerians," leader of the protesters, Comrade Nafi'u Lawan told Daily Trust correspondent.

"The issue of Comptroller General of Nigerian Custom Service Hameed Ali, the 'illegal' suspension of Ali Ndume, others, are also embarrassing the Nation." he added.
