Hundreds of youths in Rivers State stormed the streets of Port Harcourt, the state capital to join the #EndSARS protest in defiance to Governor Nyesom Wike’s directive.
The youths converged opposite the Pleasure Park on Aba Road and began their procession, insisting the Governor had no right to ban peaceful protests.
Armed with various placards and chanting “End SARS”, in solidarity, the youths blocked the busy Aba road, causing traffic gridlock.
Governor Wike had earlier in a statement by the Commissioner for Information, Paulinus Nsirim placed ban on the protest in the state.
