Naira scarcity comes to be a great problem encountering Nigerians recently in the country which leads to a riot and confusion within the country. Nevertheless, on Friday morning tension spread in some parts of Lagos over the scarcity of naira as a result of the redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The riot broke out in the Mile 12 area of the state. Mile 12 is a popular international foodstuff market along Ikorodu Road.
Eyewitness accounts said there was shooting as many civil servants and those going outside Ikorodu had to make a U-turn for fear of being hit.
The riot was spread to Ketu and Ojota, also along the Ikorodu Road, but soldiers were said to have been mobilized to quell the unrest.
