Again, protest has erupted in Ogun State over the naira scarcity, with videos online showing two banks set on fire in the Sagamu area of the state.
It was gathered that the violence broke out as early as 8am on Monday as a result of alleged stoppage of the banks’ operations with Automated Teller Machines reportedly not dispensing cash since last week.
The videos shared on Monday showed many residents watching as Keystone and Union banks were set ablaze with some youths holding planks in protest.
With bonfires, the protesters barricaded the Sagamu-Benin expressway preventing human and vehicular movements.
The Akarigbo of Remo, Oba Babatunde Ajayi, has called for calm.
You will recall that on friday protest erupted in the Mowe-Ibafo area of Ogun State, with many residents blocking the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in protest of the woes and hardship caused by the lingering scarcity of the naira.
