Thousands of women took to the streets blocking major roads to protest the judgement insisting that no handover of power would be conducted in the state without Lyon.

The protests rocked different parts of Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital, following the Supreme Court’s judgement that stopped the inauguration of Chief David Lyon as the governor of the state.

The people were chanting “No Lyon, No Governor”.
The demonstration was spontaneous as people freely joined the protest that had few placards.
Riots commenced in the state on Thursday night after the judgement as youths blocked popular roads in Yenagoa, the state capital.

The youths, who sang in solidarity displaying the flags of the All Progressives Congress (APC), refused to vacate the roads leaving motorists and commuters stranded.

One of the commuters, who spoke in confidence, said she ran into the obstacle created by the rioters describing her experience as terrible.

She said: “It was a terrible experience when I ran into them. They refused to vacate the major road. There was no vehicular movement of any sort. People were forced to return to their homes

It was learnt that the protesters made bonfires to cover the dual carriageways as they remained there till after midnight
On Friday morning, the palpable tension that enveloped the capital city forced many people to remain indoors.

Investigations revealed that the Samson Siasia Sports Complex, the venue of the inauguration was deserted.
