Banks Burnt As Protest Rocks Ogun Over Naira Scarcity (Video)
Two banks have been set on fire in the Sagamu area of Ogun State as protesters storm the streets of the state over the naira scarcity.
Naija News learnt that some youths on Monday set ablaze Keystone and Union banks.
Recall that protesters last week Friday protested on the naira scarcity in the Mowe-Ibafo area of Ogun State.
The resident also blocked the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in protest against the policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) which has caused hardship in the country.
A Twitter user, @General Oblack in his reaction to the development wrote, “To be very honest I am not seeing this as a kind of naira scarcity protest again. My view about the whole thing happening here is that some people are trying to disrupt the electoral process so that election won’t hold @NigeriapolicePR, please be alerted.”
Another one @CentParrot wrote, “CBN is pushing 200 and other lesser notes into the banks to reach the citizens. As you burn down the banks in your vicinity, hope you’re ready to trek to the banks in another person’s town or LGA to withdraw your 2k.”
At the time of filing this report, the Ogun State police command is yet to react to the incident.
