ROADS DESERTED IN IBADAN, AS PROTEST AGAINST ECONOMIC HARDSHIP BEGINS
Some usually bustling roads in Ibadan, Oyo state capital are deserted as nationwide protest begins on Thursday.
The popular Iwo road, Gate-Idi-Ape-Basorun are empty without the usual vehicular and .
human traffic. As the protests continue to unfold, many shops and businesses around these roads have closed their doors as a precautionary measure.
On a normal day, these places would have been bubbling with economic activities by this time, but not at all today.
Public transportation systems are operating at reduced capacity because most commuters are staying indoors apparently due to fear.
However, protest have begun at the University of Ibadan (UI) area as demonstrators express their grievances over poor living conditions.
