However, some hoodlums surfaced from nowhere wielding dangerous weapons to intimidate the protesters. As at the time of this report, the protesters were scampering for safety.
More reactions:

The protesters are converging again in Alausa. The earlier invasion by thugs seems to be an invitation to protesters. I've been here for just 10 minutes and at least 50 people have gathered again. #EndSWAT #AlausaProtest pic.twitter.com/FolIbWTBJa
