Due to the ever growing difficulty of getting the newly redesigned naira notes, some angry residents of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, have resolved to be violent and attacking a commercial bank and destroyed some ATM Boots in the city.
A viral video circulating on Saturday morning shows the citizens destroying a facility of Wema Bank, reportedly located at Agodi in Ibadan.
The bank’s Automated Teller Machine (ATM) boots and other facilities were all vandalized while bank staff were forced to run for safety. The mob also vandalized some cars packed in the bank’s vicinity.
According to report the mob took advantage of the protest which started in Ibadan on Friday as angry citizens took to the streets to lament the non-availability of the new naira notes and the hardship the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) policy had caused.
The protesters also lamented the lingering fuel scarcity in the entire country.
Many major roads such as Iwo Road, Gate, and other roads in the city were blocked bringing commercial activities to a standstill.
