FLASH: Nigerians Block Road, Protest High Cost Of Food, Living (Video)
Scores of Nigerians in Minna, the Niger State capital, have flooded the streets to protest the rising cost of food and living in the state.
It was gathered that the protesters, in large numbers, blocked the Minna-Bida Road at the popular Kpakungu roundabout as early as 7 am on Monday.
The protesters who are majorly youths and women are lamenting the rising cost of food items and poor government effort to arrest the situation, which, according to them, has forced them to block major roads so the government will hear their cry.
Efforts by the police to control the crowd almost resulted in violence as protesters asked police to leave, forcing the police to fire several shots in the air to disperse them.
