As a result of the lack of naira notes, civil unrest has now reached Agege, Ikorodu, and other areas of Lagos State.

On Friday morning, hoodlums stormed major roads, causing chaos.

The protest began at 6 a.m. at Mile-12, Ketu, Ojota, Ikorodu Road, and Iyana-Ipaja. It eventually spreads to Agege, Ikorodu, and Iyana Iba.

As the rioters went berserk with bonfires set across the road, motorists and residents on their way to various places of work hurriedly turned back in panic.
