An eyewitness said bank officials of Access Bank told customers to vacate the bank premises as they have closed for the day.

The state Commissioner of Police, Oyeyemi Oyediran, had on Monday, met with stakeholders in the state to address the issues of petrol scarcity, inability to access cash at financial institutions and hike in fuel price at various filling stations.

Oyeyemi noted that the command was aware of plans to embark on the protest as a way of showcasing their grievances, urging them not to.
