Aggrieved protesters have shut down the ever-busy Benin-Ore-Lagos expressway over the gruesome murder of a yet-to-be identified young lady. The lady was said to have been raped and murdered by suspected Fulani Herdsmen who have been terrorising the community.
        The protesters in their numbers, on Tuesday afternoon, blocked the popular Okada junction, near Benin, Edo State capital. The aggrieved residents are went on rampage and chased out Hausa traders in retaliation. A Northern man who had his wares (Indomie, Suya etc) in a nearby kiosk, also got a share of the aggrieved residents actions. His wares were thrown off and given a hot chase but managed to get away. According to an eyewitness, even the security men who were mobilized to the scene could not manage the situation. She said the aggrieved residents equally resisted a VIP who had wanted to pass through the blocked road with his team of escorts. The Spokesman for the Edo State Police Command, DSP Chidi Nwabuzor, said the force is yet to be briefed.
