The Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) on Monday stormed the Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway, demanding the sack of the Chairman of the Independent
National Electoral Commission, Professor Attahiru Jega, before the
general elections.
Guns, cutlasses, pocket knifes, among other weapons, were seen on the
OPC members who also destroyed some campaign posters of the All
Progressives Congress candidates.
The protesters blocked the major highways causing a heavy traffic
snarl while harassing pedestrians and motorists.
The protesters took time to distribute leaflets containing seven
reasons why the INEC boss should be sacked.
The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra
had also on Friday protested in Abia and some other south-eastern
states calling for the immediate removal of Professor Jega.
