On the 3rd of April, 2026, youths under the banner of the National Democractic Congress (NDC) went to the streets of Benin to protest bad governance and inflation.
Their start off point was Asoro Bus stop off Ekenwa Road, in the capital city of Benin.
The purpose of the protest is to draw the attention of masses to the level of bad governance, high inflation rate, high cost of living, high rate of insecurity and also the lack of unemployment of our brilliant graduate in the country. The protest was well organised, but the government is not happy with the arrowhead of the protest. Security agencies have placed under watch.
Now the arrowhead of the protest, Okakah Godstime Iyorioghe, has been placed under police watch in the whole of the 36 police state commands to prove a point that he cannot continue to initiate such confusion in any part of the country.
Iyorioghe is a popular youth leader resident in the heart of the city and carry out his nefarious activities under the shadow of civil liberties.
The arrowhead of the group who organised the peaceful protest is only concerned with conditions of the citizens and level of corruption in Nigeria. He appealed to the government to look at the directions of the people. But the government did not look at that direction.
This operation has been tagged “operation cut to size” but the authorities are seeing nothing been cut to size rather they equate the brouhaha as one contrasting incident too many.
A large sum has been placed on his head and any successful head hunter will be awarded a huge sum of N20 million to bring him to answer questions on the reason for his protest.
