There is riot presently in the Odo Eran, Obantoko area of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital as trigger-happy policemen disrupted and opened fire on a group of aggrieved residents protesting the ravaging fuel and naira notes scarcity in the country. Videos obtained by SaharaReporters showed how a police van drove roughly through the area and lawless policemen shot into the air as the protesters scampered to safety.

SaharaReporters earlier reported that some angry Nigerians also blocked the Benin-Ore Highway in Ondo State to register their displeasure over the scarcity of naira notes and fuel scarcity ravaging the nation.A cross section of the protesters attributed their actions to the frustrations being faced in the banks and filling stations.

According to videos seen by SaharaReporters, the protesters also defied police presence as they marched along the highway. This is coming less than 24-hour after the Ondo State Police Command warned residents against staging protest. The police command gave the warning following the residents’ plan to stage a protest over the incessant scarcity of fuel and naira notes rocking the country.Oyediran said the Command is aware of the agendas of the residents to stage a protest in order to air their anger.Oyediran had said security agents had been notified to ensure the safety of residents and apprehend offenders of the law.

Sorrow, tears and blood... Their stock in trade

As if these police officers have the Naira in their pocket

It's barbaric

We have to be a people that obey laws. But this is hard, because the people who made them wants to live above the law. It don’t work like that. Dear Nigerian police, your job is to enforce law. We know this: but don’t forget, it’s also to protect our lives, rights, and property.

I hop e the protesters are not lawless also

You don't just go and break people's property and expect a good mark. They hijacked the protest and they got shot. 1 thing I don't like about Nigerian protest. They over do it by hijacking and destroying innocent people's property and lives.

😅😅😅😅. As many as you yorobas and the rest of the foolani worshippers are still caught in the Stockholm syndrome, the zoo will swallow.

Since we dey suffer and why did they decide to do protest now , make una use una number 6

The man who see tomorrow

They're pushing for interim government and these mumu's are giving them what they want... I promise u, the police and armed forces will only get more violent just to get citizens to react. It's the Hausa agenda, do not let another Hausa man occupy any sensitive position.

But you never say the guys set fire on first bank and distroy property's

This is condemnable 😥

Those ones that were vandalizing banks

okwudili042 this is IPOB boys oo, Nigeria police can never do such 😂🤣🤣🤔

I keep wondering who train these officers ? I use to know they use non life rounds during riot..are they there to kill or get the situation under control beside the police should know when a protest is managed poorly it becomes a riot even then tear gas are deployed

Those who are spoiling peoples property in the name of protest what is their gain?

All thanks to buhari/tinubu and APC

What a country!!!

Ifb

Congratulations to the residence. My demons are working with the police -so says Lucifer Yahweh master of the peoples in Nigeria.

After this still go vote APC You hear

This is the country we are in,an Nigerian government saying people should not travel out, wait for what? which you can't even say you mind.

Truly lawless Nigerian police

Those policemen deserve to be devour this beast. They are so heartless, so they are comfortable and happy with what's happening in the country abu

Wahala be scarcity of naria notes and fuel scarcity and APC want Nigerians to vote for them

Somalia is now better than that fulani country company called Nigeria

God why is this happening to us,who do we offend..it has come to the point of human lives being taken away like it nothing😭😭

Hmmmmm I think each Nigeria citizen have some atom of craziness, which can only be cured when realized that some action is not worth taken

GEJ

To see how bad this country is! Imagine police operatives opening fire on defenseless citizens protesting about what is affecting all of us including the police force too abi dem no dey use fuel or money?

Why not report that one has been killed by their stray bullet

When will NPF get sense and Apply professionalism in their conduct?

NGRSenate ,HouseNGR NigeriapolicePR ,as reported ,can't our police men used rubber bullets or tear gas canisters to dispense protest ?

This is obantoko odo-eran abeokuta

Western countries will not see that, what they want is sham election

I just still dey reason how i got to this country

They are terrorists not protesters. Thank you

LET THE RESIDENTS FIRE BACK!!

The naira redesign and fuel scarcity will also influence the election

It can only happen in an APC state where the gov was installed by BAT. They have killed innocent protesters in Lagos before, 3 more states to go.

Why protect always van*dalized people's properties?

Citizen will soon carry arms. People has been push to the wall. They see it as no meaning in living in silent passing through pain created by politicians.

but the same police will protest for none payment and nobody disturbing them, shame to those who still believe in one nigeria
