Banks, according to reports, are being set ablaze with people out on the roads protesting the new naira redesign.

From the pictures and videos, angry protesters are seen setting banks on fire, and burning tyres on the roads while weapon-wielding men are seen on the streets of the state protesting.

Residents living in that area have been advised to stay indoors due to gunshots being heard.
