There was pandemonium in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State on Tuesday, after angry customers vented their anger and frustration at two banks over their inability to access cash due to the scarcity of the redesigned naira notes.

Video footage shows the angry crowd throwing chairs and other items while a bloodied young man is seen calling for help, as another voice claimed the bleeding man had been shot.
It is unclear who shot him.

The protesters are also seen in the video burning tyres on major roads at Panseke, Sapon and Oke-Ilewo area of the capital, while reports have it that the protests had extended to other areas in Abeokuta.

The affected banks, Access and First bank branches located in different areas of the town, according to eyewitnesses, had to be closed hurriedly as the angry crowd destroyed property, and set them on fire.

Witnesses say the rioting spilled into the streets where vehicles were burnt, leading to the invitation of security operatives to quell the riot and disperse the mob which led to gun shots.

These clueless leaders with blood on their hands.
It appears they derive joy at the sight of bloodshed.
How long can the nation endure this deliberate acts of onslaught against the people because of proxy battles?

He does have a point though.

I read in the OP up there that they also destroyed cars

I wonder why protesters always destroy innocent peoples property.

I pray for quick recovery for the person with the gunshot wound, that is really sad.

If I recall correctly, Ogun state was where Tinubu said they changed money because of him and that very soon people will start protesting......
And today this is happening. Can we call it a coincidence or a well written script that is been played?

After burning the banks, the cash flow still won't improve and deadline won't change!

EndSars worse this one yet Olopa never still improve till today!

Instead of going all out for elected leaders starting from the overfed and over-privileged lawmakers, y'all will rather go after poor bank workers!

The affected banks will lay off workers, increase unemployment, and further recover their losses by increasing service charges nationwide...!

You Negroes never learn! SMH!
