Supreme Court Judgement Causes Uproar In Nasarawa State
The Friday judgement of the Supreme Court upholding the victory of Abdullahi Sule as Nasarawa State governor has triggered protests in Lafia, the state capital.
The Lafia-Jos highway linking Makurdi and other North East has been completely blocked as the protesters barricaded the only highway linking other parts of the country, burning tyres along the road.
Meanwhile Banks, shops, schools and other business centres, within the Lafia metropolis, have been shut down.
Residents are currently in panic calling for the deployment of more security operatives to restore calm in the state.
RovingNaija News gathered that as reported by Guardian, the mob has been chanting war songs, alleging that the judgement delivered by the Supreme Court was induced by some prominent monarchs some days ahead of the declaration.
The ongoing development has created panic about an imminent crisis in major parts of the state.
