Adibe Emenyonu in Benin City
Youths and motorists in Urokuosa community in Uhunmwode Local Government Area in Edo State, blocked the road yesterday to protest against incessant insecurity on the Benin-Auchi-Lokoja Road.
The protest, which was the second in less than a month, forced long vehicular queues on both sides of the road and left commuters stranded for several hours.
It was gathered that the protest was provoked by an alleged attack of a Toyota Sienna space bus by suspected Fulani herdsmen on Wednesday, which left many passengers injured.
The protesters claimed that a driver of a popular transport company was shot dead last week along the road and threatened not to vacate the road until the Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki or the Deputy Governor, Mr. Philip Shaibu showed up.

The man from Katsina
I remember decades ago reading Adaora Lily Ulasi’s work,
Many Thing You No Understand, when I read the work, who would have thought about the strange happenings in my nation Nigeria, Adaora who passed on in 2016 also wrote
Many Thing Begin for Change, and
The Man from Sagamu
Let me say that as we keep mute or play mute, as we pay lip service things are changing, and the resultant effect is one that we may not be able to cope with. And I would draw inference from
The Man from Sagamu, first published in 1977.
