NAIRA SCARCITY: Police officers stop protesters from attacking two banks in Akowonjo

A combined team of policemen attached to the Gowon Estate and Shasha police divisions foiled some protesters' attempt to attack a branch of Access Bank located at Akowonjo in the Egbeda-Akowonjo LCDA of Alimosho LGA on Friday, February 17, 2023,

According to media reports, some aggrieved customers stormed the premises of the bank to protest their inability to withdraw money.

Their demand, however, degenerated when one of the customers started to hurl stones at the building.

The tension was doused following the intervention of the policemen who were drafted to the scene to restore order.

Similarly, two police vans were stationed at the entrance of a Keystone bank adjacent to the Access Bank.
