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.

The videos shared on Monday showed many residents watching as Keystone and Union banks were set ablaze with some youths holding planks in protest.

On Friday last week, The PUNCH had reported how 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.

Reacting to the development, a Twitter user, @arranowanna wrote, “Kindly advise your friends, families and acquaintances to avoid any protests. Take your frustration to the ballots on Saturday. Don’t burn banks, don’t burn petrol stations, don’t burn government properties.”

Another user, @morningstar_305 wrote, “I just put a call through to the house and it was confirmed to me that keystone bank and union bank at ijoku has been set ablaze by angry citizens.”

While popular tweep, Pooja, wrote, “If you are in Sagamu, be careful cos there is a protest on new naira notes.”

Meanwhile, on Thursday last week, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), in a national broadcast had said the old N500 and N1,000 notes were no longer legal tender in the country, however extending the validity of the old N200 note for 60 days, till April 10, 2023.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Bola Oyeyemi, could not be reached as at the time of filing this report, as phone calls to his line were not responded to.

Tinubu is hell bent on destroying our country having seen defeat starring him in the face. He must be stopped now before he burns down the whole country.

O ga o.

The directive from the President is an illegal directive that disobeys lawful court order.

Everyone should please call down.

Election holds in 5 days after day . You should all come out en masse to vote for Asiwaju. Only Asiwaju can stop them from turning your old notes into tissue paper.

Once Asiwaju wins, old notes will remain till December 2023 and Emefiele will be fired for incompetence.
Every one should remain calm please.

Those Tinupoo's mobilised urchins should be brutally dealt with by the Nigerian soldiers.

The urinating machine of Iragbiji is scared of the impending defeat and now resort to hiring urchins to cause havoc all over the place.

Tinubu sponsored protest

Yorubas don't know their worst enemy is tinubu,they will later blame MNK for not liking them while they are bloody hypocrites.

Buhari should declare state of emergency in any state that protests. That's the way to go. Tinubu and his urchins can't hold us back.

You can see the pattern and location of these protests!

No protests in the North, Southeast, Middle Belt, and most parts of the South-South!


No wonder Obaseki demanded for the arrest of his former mentor! tongue

Some of these attackers don't even have accounts with the banks that they are attacking. They want chaos and anarchy to become the order of the day in order to go on a looting spree.

I recommend arrest and jailing of such people once they are caught in the act of vandalizing any bank.

Burning banks doesn't solve the problems but rather constitute more suffering for the people

Tinubu,call your Jagaban army to order.
They should leave people's investments alone,the banks don't print naira notes.
Buhari already made a broadcast and accepted responsibility for the wahala.
Call your SW legislators and instruct them to impeach buhari if U really want to do something about it.
