Protesters In Delta Demand Better Nigeria, Ask FG to Arrest Banks MDs

Motorist, traders, human rights activists, and angry youths, protesting the fuel and new naira notes scarcity, barricaded the Asaba-Onitsha Expressway in Asaba, call for a better Nigeria, and also urged the Federal Government of Nigeria to arrest Managing Directors of commercial banks for allegedly hoarding the new Naira notes.

Speaking on behalf of the protesters, the Africa Democratic Party’s House of Reps candidate in the state, Ukuanove Odimbu, said the hardship meted out on the common man on the street arising through the fuel hike and hoarding of the new naira notes was becoming unbearable.

The protesters demanded sanction for bank managers in the state for hoarding the new naira notes and asked the President, Muhammadu Buhari and the Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, to prevail on the fuel marketers to find an urgent solution to the protracted scarcity.

The protesters carried placards with different inscriptions, drummed as they called for a reduced cost of living for the citizens of the country.
