In a similar event, SaharaReporters had also reported how angry youths in Abeokuta, Ogun State vandalised one of the branches of First Bank while protesting against the Naira swap policy.
This had also been captured in a video showing protesters throwing stones and destroying some properties within the bank's premises.
The Central Bank of Nigeria had fixed February 10 as the new deadline for the exchange of old naira notes for newly redesigned one, having initially fixed January 31 as the deadline.
Many Nigerians are currently unable to obtain the new N200, N500, and N1,000 notes, resulting in scarcity and attendant suffering in the country. This led the youths and some residents of the state to stage the protest.
It was also gathered that one of the protesters sustained gunshot injury during the protest.
