The protest, characterized by a significant turnout, saw demonstrators converging at the Kpakungu roundabout, effectively blocking the Minna-Bida Road from as early as 7 am on Monday.


Tensions escalated when attempts by the police to manage the crowd were met with resistance, pushing the protesters to demand the withdrawal of law enforcement. In response, the police resorted to firing multiple shots into the air to disperse the gathering.
