| Description |
Two simultaneous protests occurred on the River Niger Bridge. The first group, angered at the discovery of a dead body, identified as an operative of the state Transport Agency (ASTA) was found in a trailer driven by a Northerner presumed to be an Hausaman. The group reportedly set a vehicle alight and nearly lynched its driver. The second group was protesting against the "high handedness of the leadership of old motor spare parts market in Onitsha." It is not clear if the convergence of the two protests was coincidental. |
