Normalcy seems to have been restored by the military who arrived to quell the new naira protesters after the sporadic shootings rocked Mowe, Ogun State.
The situation had been tense, and violence erupted as the military sought to disperse the crowds.
The nation had been in the midst of a wave of disturbance and protests for a few days, which had rendered it inoperable.
The government had, however, responded by deploying troops to restore order.
However, normalcy has started to return to the streets of Lagos State. The military presence has been scaled back, and the sporadic shootings that had become a regular feature of life have subsided.
The riots that erupted in Lagos State and largely, across the nation, were largely driven by frustrations with the government’s handling of the new naira and the fact that the old naira is no longer a legal tender.
