Today is the day the general strike called by NLC and TUC and everywhere was shut down. From Kwara to Lagos, from Oyo to Kano people trooped out enmassed to protest against the removal of fuel subsidy. Government Offices were under lock and key in all the states and there was a total paralysis of Government activities.
Reports from Gombe State say that miscreants took over the protests and disrupted it and the President has said that the passage of motion by House of Reps passing a motion against the fuel subsidy is a mere expression of their opinion.
In Lagos State, one life was reported lost around Ogba and it has really caused a lot of uproar in the social media. Ademola Aderinde is the name of the young man felled by bullet of the Nigerian Police.
Protest was also carried out in Ilorin and the security operatives were well behaved and did not disrupt the proceedings.
In general, Nigerians want the price of fuel reverted back to the former N65 and the so called cabals arrested if found guilty.
