Protest Breaks Out In Nasarawa Over Supreme Court Verdict

Protest has broken out in Lafia, Nasarawa State capital, following the Supreme Court verdict which affirmed the election of Governor Abdullahi Sule in the March 18, 2023 election in the state.

The Lafia-Jos road has been completely blocked as the protesters lit bonfire to prevent travelers and other road users.

Daily Trust reporter, who was at the scene of the protest, reports that motorists had to take alternative routes out of Lafia.

An automobile mechanic, Mallam Dogo Audu, called for the deployment of more security operatives to restore calm and avert escalation.

Our correspondent also reports that shops owners and business centres have shut down.
