Protesters, yesterday, stormed major streets of Sagamu, Ogun State, to express their anger and displeasure over the hardship experienced as a result of the scarcity of naira notes.
They barricaded the Ijebu-Ode/Sagamu Interchange section of the Lagos-Sagamu-Benin Expressway with bonfires, leading to traffic gridlock which left hundreds of travelers stranded for hours.
The mob, made up mostly of youths, also torched two banks and the offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) and set ablaze equipment such as computers, TV sets, furniture, industrial generator, among others. They also vandalized the Sagamu LGA Secretariat office.
The two banks burnt were branches of Keystone Bank and Union Bank located at Ijoku Area while other banks were also attacked.
