Another protest has broken out on the streets of Suleja in Niger over the rising cost of living.
This is coming two days after protesters stormed the streets of Minna, the Niger State capital.
Suleja is just a few kilometres away from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
The protesters called on President Bola Tinubu to end the hardship because they were suffering.
They could be seen displaying placards with inscriptions reading, “Tinubu, Do Something Now!”; “Leadership Is All About Improving Lives”; “Nigerians Are Suffering”; “Stop The Hardship Now”, among others.
A group of women had blocked the Minna-Bida Road at the popular Kpakungu roundabout to express their grievances over the rising cost of food items.
People travelling to major cities in the South, such as Lagos and Ibadan, among others, were held hostage for hours due to the protest, which started as early as 7 a.m.
