Nigerians angry with the federal government's cashless policy have protested in Benin Edo state over scarcity of new naira notes on Wednesday.

The protesters attempted to break into the State branch of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) located along Akpakpava Street, a commercial nerve center in Benin City, where most commercial banks are also located. Thereafter, they attacked some commercial banks located in the area.

 

Some market women in the state also took to the streets to protest the scarcity of Naira notes.
