As journalist quizzed the protesters on their mission, the protesters excitedly told journalists on camera they were offered N10,000 to stage pro-Fatoyinbo protest in Abuja.

One protester said, "Money is talking! Money is talking!"

When queried on who paid him, he replied, "He said he will give us N10,000."
