The protesters said the rising cost of food
items and poor government effort to arresting the situation has forced them to
block major roads so that government will hear their cry.
The Deputy Governor of Niger State, Yakubu Garba
while addressing the protesters said the government is aware of the pain and
hardship families are faced with at this time, He said palliative distribution
earlier carried out by the government is among deliberate efforts to reducing
hardship.
However, the earlier peaceful protest turned
chaotic when the Deputy Governor was leaving the scene as angry youths chant
'karya neh! Karya neh' and throw stones on the convoy
