The naira shortage has sparked protests in Ogun State once more, with footage online depicting two banks being set on fire in the Sagamu region of the state.
Videos that were circulated on Monday showed a large number of locals watching as the Keystone and Union banks were set on fire, with some young people holding boards in protest.
Reacting to the situation 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.”
Bola Oyeyemi, the state police public relations officer, could not be reached as of the time this story was filed since neither phone calls nor text messages were returned to his line.
