Protesters participating in the #EndBadGovernance protests in Edo State have been dispersed by a heavy downpour which started early Thursday.
The protesters had gathered as early as 7 a.m. and were restricted to Ring Road, where a podium was set up, and music was played loudly, creating a carnival-like atmosphere amid heavy security presence, as indicated by Edo Commissioner of Police, Funsho Adegboye, on Wednesday night.
The major roads and streets of Benin and its environs were barricaded by the protesters, armed with placards bearing various inscriptions.
