Nigeria's Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, who was having a meeting with stakeholders in Benin, the Edo state capital, was met with disruption by protesters who broke into the venue of a meeting and distorted the entire programme.
According to TheCable News, the meeting which is a negotiation interface with the oil producing communities in the region was disrupted after Usani Uguru, minister of state for Niger Delta, finished speaking.
Not even the attempt of Godwin Obaseki, governor of the state, to calm the aggrieved individuals yielded any result, as they continued waving placards.
As of the time of filing this report, normalcy had not been restored, but security personnel have formed a barricade around the acting president.
