Hundreds of protesters blocked roads in Benin City, the Edo State Capital, South-South Nigeria on Monday, over the protracted fuel scarcity and hike in the price of the product.
A video of the protest has been circulating online. The video reveals fires on the road with thick smoke billowing from the burning materials.
A voice narration in the video said, “This is happening live in Benin City, Edo State capital; huge protest going on over fuel crisis. You can see protesters block roads and making fire on the roadblocks.”
